Overview
This delightful weatherboard heritage cottage has undergone a major restoration to become an immaculate three-bedroom home full of charm and character. The exterior retains the early-Victorian facade, refreshed with updated weatherboards, a Jarrah front porch, and authentic French barn doors that preserve its historical appeal. Inside, a tasteful blend of traditional and modern elements elevates the home to contemporary standards of comfort and convenience. Situated centrally in the heart of historic Queenscliff, the home offers an exceptional coastal lifestyle in this charming seaside community.
The home features a classic double-fronted Victorian cottage layout, with three bedrooms opening off the entrance hall and living areas positioned towards the rear. Notable are the soaring high ceilings, bright and sunny interiors, and a generous sense of space that provide an airy and inviting atmosphere rarely found in typical period homes. Each bedroom has been thoughtfully rejuvenated, boasting newly laid carpeting, plantation shutters, built-in wardrobes, and ceiling fans for added comfort. The master bedroom benefits from a pristine ensuite bathroom that complements the main bathroom located off the hall. Both bathrooms showcase patterned floor tiles, reclaimed stained glass windows, and wide vanities, combining traditional details with modern functionality.
At the rear, a light-filled open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area creates a versatile and comfortable communal space. Double French-style doors open to a beautifully landscaped backyard garden, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen is a well-designed space featuring a custom-made French electric oven, induction stovetop, a double farmhouse sink, and a multipurpose pantry/laundry area that doubles as a study nook. The adjoining dining area is bathed in natural light through reclaimed sash windows, making it a pleasant spot for meals. A modern wood-burning heater has been expertly integrated into the original rendered fireplace in the living room, complementing the centrally controlled electric panel heating and providing warmth through cooler months.
During warmer seasons, wide glass doors can be opened to extend the living space onto an alfresco area overlooking the landscaped garden, which includes a central plum tree for natural beauty and shade. The property features a historic rainwater-fed well that has been connected to support a backyard irrigation system, ensuring the garden remains healthy and lush year-round.
This comprehensive renovation means all the hard work has been completed to transform this old Victorian gem into a modern coastal home. It is equally suited to families seeking a comfortable residence or investors pursuing a sound holiday home option. The combination of thoughtful restoration, classic character, modern amenities, and an enviable location make this property a unique and compelling offering. It is highly recommended to arrange an inspection to fully appreciate the charm and lifestyle benefits extended by this captivating home.
