Queenscliff 1 Learmonth Street

A fabulous renovation blends the classic period features of this pretty 3 bedroom weatherboard cottage with modern conveniences and quirky details to create a unique, luxurious home. The peaceful Learmonth Street location is one block from the shops and cafes of Hesse and Hobson Streets and minutes from the Rail Trail and ferry terminal.

Lofty ceilings and golden polished floorboards retain the charm of yesteryear, while hydronic heating, split system air conditioning and continuous hot water provide modern comfort. The flexible floor plan separates bedrooms and living spaces, with the master suite privately located at the front of the home, dining, living and secluded alfresco area at the rear and 2 further spacious bedrooms cleverly set in the attic space. A carport and driveway prevent parking headaches in peak periods.

Stepping inside from the decked porch, an airy hall lit by highlight picture windows leads to the open plan kitchen, dining and sitting area. Three sets of French doors open to a decked and paved outdoor space overlooking the garden, perfect for enjoying alfresco dining and relaxation in the warmth of the northern sun. In the roomy kitchen, timber benches and spotless joinery house a 900 mm Smeg oven, 5 burner gas cooktop and Miele dishwasher.

With bi-fold doors to front and back, the adjoining living room can be transformed from a sheltered den to a true indoor-outdoor space made for expansive entertaining. Exposed rafters and pendant lighting create a luxe industrial feel.

The master bedroom connects to an en suite with deep freestanding bath and roomy study/sitting room big enough for a fourth bedroom or nursery. In the minor bedrooms, window seats offer sky views with handy storage. Built-in cupboards to 1 bedroom and the landing provide further storage.

The large central bathroom accommodates a huge fully-tiled in situ shower, vanity, laundry area and further storage with ease. Behind a sliding door, the separate toilet comes with convenient access to the back garden, where a watering can has been transformed into an outdoor shower for rinsing off before you step inside.

Gardens continue the blend of old and new. A weatherboard shed sits opposite a raised vegetable box, graceful white hydrangeas bloom alongside colourful coastal landscaping, established planting screens the home and crushed rock, paving and decked surfaces deliver an attractive, low maintenance finish.

Centrally located, with charming period features and a quirky renovation incorporating essential mod cons, this home is a delight. Enjoy an inspection here.
