Queenscliff 20 Swanston Street

This enormous allotment provides all the promise required to envisage an inspired refurbishment of its current two bedroom retro-era residence. Measuring approximately 1026 square metres, an ocean of space exists to extend, and the prime location makes it well worth the effort.

All original, clean and well-kept, the house features high ceilings edged with decorative cornice. A variety of heating and cooling options are found in the lounge and dining room, including a reverse cycle split system with inverter for greater efficiency. Glass doors lead directly out to a broad front verandah, a boon on balmy summer evenings.

In the kitchen, an electric side-by-side stove sits between a pantry and a drying cupboard. A wide window frames the view of a grand old shade tree in the backyard. From here, parents can supervise children playing happily beneath its lofty limbs. Also enjoying this vista, the small conservatory-style porch at the rear would make a warm and sunny winter study or breakfast room.

The main bedroom contains a walk-in robe, the other a built-in robe, and both share a large bathroom, separate shower room and separate toilet. There are plenty of built-in linen storage cupboards, and a single garage with roller door is attached to the house.

Such an expanse of backyard lends itself well to development, as ample room is available for the addition of another dwelling at the rear, even if this one is retained for renovation (STCA). Alternatively, erect a granny flat (STCA), or just revel in the rare find of over quarter of an acre.

Catch the ferry to Sorrento, visit the maritime museums and lighthouse or just relax on the beach, with or without a fishing rod in hand. With Swan Bay at the end of the street, shopping and recreational facilities in walking distance, once renovations are complete an idle existence awaits in this idyllic historic township.
