12 Hayman Street, Portarlington, Vic 3223

There are renovations, and then there's 12 Hayman Street: a solid-brick Portarlington home taken back to the studs by a husband-and-wife pairing whose work is quickly becoming crowned as some the most assured, considered and beautifully finished offerings on the Bellarine. From the long timber verandah washed in late light, to the kitchen deliberately set so you can lose yourself in soaring views across Corio Bay and the mountainous horizon beyond, every gesture here feels intentional. Aluminium windows, sheer curtains, timber, stone and painted brick sit together with a warmth that is immediately homely — and the bathrooms, with their smoked glass and classy finishes, are editorial in the truest sense.

Step inside and the living room unfolds in pale timber floors and a wash of sheer fabric, the ceiling fan turning slowly above a space that opens cleanly to the dining table and a kitchen of obvious luxury. A generous island in stone and oak, gold tapware, an induction cooktop, oven, dishwasher, abundant pantry space and floor-to-ceiling joinery give the room both beauty and backbone, while a split system keeps the whole living heart comfortable year-round. The main bedroom is a calm, light-filled retreat with mirrored built-in robes, a ceiling fan and its own ensuite — vessel basin, timber vanity, brass wall mixer and a smoked-glass shower against limestone-toned tiling. A second bedroom with built-in robes sits nearby, and a versatile third isn't afar. The family bathroom is the one you will show first: a freestanding bath, a second smoked-glass shower, matching timber vanity and the same waterproofing and craftsmanship that has been carried, quite literally, from turf to top. A practical laundry, abundant storage and new aluminium windows throughout complete the interior. Outside, a full-width verandah holds space for both, a lounge and dining zone; a wide concrete drive runs beside the home to a substantial 6.6 × 6.0 garage; and the backyard has been finished with brick paving, fresh turf, a fire pit among the mulch, and room enough for the boat, the caravan, or a never-ending summer evening.

Hayman Street sits in that sweet pocket of Portarlington where village life and the water are never far away. The recreation reserve, sports grounds and walking tracks unfurl toward the bay; Point Richards Boat Ramp is a short run for the trailer; the pier, the beach, the bowls club and the cafés and shops of Main Street are all part of the everyday circuit. Portarlington Primary is close at hand, The Esplanade is the weekend ritual, and Geelong's CBD is only twenty-eight kilometres away — with Drysdale, Queenscliff and the rest of the Bellarine unfolding from the door.

What you are buying is not a cosmetic refresh. It is a structurally rebuilt, meticulously waterproofed, finely detailed home, finished by renovators who treat craftsmanship as a reputation. Stand at the kitchen bench at dusk, watch the bay and the ranges hold the last of the light, and you will understand why this home will hold a place in your families hearts.

The Geelong Agency welcomes you home.
