46 Littlewood Dr, Fyansford.

---

Daily walks along the nearby Moorabool River have been a highlight of living at this custom-built Dennehy home in Fyansford the vendor describes as a her “private sanctuary”.

There is nothing cookie cutter about the contemporary three-bedroom residence that packs far more onto its 387sq m corner block that many would imagine.

A rare triple car garage and a designated home office are among highlights of the timber clad design, which is anchored by a hidden central courtyard that floods the interior with natural light.

Since buying 46 Littlewood Drive, Fyansford, from the original owner, a builder, in 2020, the vendor has found it a peaceful and private retreat.

She said the property’s proximity to the river was one of its best features.

“I just walk that river every single day, it’s beautiful,” she said.

“The other thing is it’s just so low maintenance I can just relax and be in there. And the courtyard is the most incredible little suntrap and it is totally private.”

Burnished concrete floors flow from front door through to the open-plan kitchen, living and meals area at the rear.

The open-plan living area wraps around an internal courtyard.

As well as sliding doors onto the courtyard, the room has clerestory windows for additional natural light and split system heating and cooling.

A high-end kitchen presides over the space and showcases a high-end kitchen fitted with a stone-topped breakfast bar and a stainless steel 900mm wall oven, five-burner gas cooktop and an Asko dishwasher.

The clever floorplan has an adjoining utilities room that includes a pantry and laundry and direct garage access.

All three bedrooms have carpeted floors and built-in wardrobes, with timber vanities, stone benchtops and black fittings giving both the ensuite and family bathrooms a sleek feel. There’s also a powder room for guest use.

Clerestory windows draw in loads of natural light.

The main bedroom has split system for warm summer nights.

Both bathrooms share similar finishes.

The home office is tucked quietly off the living room and has built-in desk and storage.

“It’s a beautiful plain canvas that I’ve just been able to put my own style on inside really easily,” the vendor said of the house.

She said the design of the three-car garage, with one tandem bay, was a big bonus and rarely found, particularly on a block of that size.

“So the person who built it he used to reverse in his trailer with his ute fully and then the other car,” she said.

“(The property’s) got full side access as well. The corner block is actually great if you are a tradie or you need storage or anything like that.”

The home office is all set up ready to go.

Neighbourhood parks, an oval, riverside walking trails and the Fyansford Hotel are all within walking distance of the home.

“The whole of Fyansford is peaceful, I wouldn’t live anywhere else in Geelong other than Fyansford now,” the vendor said.
