PEACE AND POWER ON POWLETT

Tucked away off the main road in a delightfully quiet pocket of Dalyston, this charming weatherboard cottage offers the ultimate entry into the beautiful Bass Coast property market. Affectionately known as "Thomas Cottage", 78 Powlett Street presents a picture perfect opportunity for first home buyers, young couples, a tradie that loves a good powered storage shed or a small family looking to embrace a relaxed country coastal lifestyle. From the moment you step past the classic corrugated iron fence and secure double gates, the property welcomes you with an honest, down-to-earth warmth that makes you feel instantly at home on its neat approx. 382 square metre allotment.

Step inside to discover a surprisingly spacious and move-in-ready layout designed for easy modern living. The heart of the home features a generous, sunlit open-plan living and dining area where vertical timber wall panelling adds character and a cosy, rustic vibe. Comfort is fully taken care of year-round with a split-system air conditioner, a cooling ceiling fan, and a classic wood-fire heater that promises to keep winter nights beautifully snug. Flowing seamlessly from the living zone is a tastefully updated, U-shaped kitchen complete with contemporary wood-look cabinetry, crisp subway tile splashbacks, and an electric cooker, making it an ideal space to whip up home-cooked meals while keeping an eye on the family action.

Accommodation comprises two well-proportioned, carpeted bedrooms that provide peaceful retreats at the end of a long day, with the main bedroom enjoying its own ceiling fan and large windows that draw in the natural light. Outside, the outdoor space hits the absolute sweet spot between functionality and low-maintenance freedom. A neat little vegetable patch out front sits ready for the home cook to cultivate fresh herbs and produce, while the simple, lush green lawns offer just enough space for weekend pottering or a small family pet without consuming all your spare time. It is the perfect setup for anyone who wants a bit of a green-thumb lifestyle but prefers spending their weekends exploring nearby beaches rather than mowing for hours.

For the tradies, weekend tinkerers, or those needing extra secure storage, the property boasts a fantastic advantage with a highly functional, powered shed standing ready alongside the house. Positioned safely within the fully fenced yard, there is plenty of space to store tools, house weekend gear, or set up the ultimate home workshop right here in Dalyston. Combining practical functionality with the undeniable charm of a classic weatherboard cottage, this property is a rare find that delivers real, honest value. Whether you are stepping onto the property ladder for the very first time or looking to settle down in a tight-knit regional community, this home is completely ready for you to just move in and start living the dream.
