Queenscliff 40 Mercer Street

Positioned right on the corner of Stokes Street and Mercer Street in central Queenscliff, this beautifully unique and light-filled home is bursting with charm and has plenty of surprises in store. The deceptively large floor plan includes four bedrooms, two well-sized living spaces and a fully renovated bathroom, kitchen and dining room. A delightful central courtyard links the two halves of the home, with smaller sunny courtyards providing additional peaceful outdoor spaces to sit back and relax.

Originally built in 1857, this character-filled home is named ‘Brigadoon’, meaning a place that is idyllic and unaffected by time. Stepping inside the front door feels like stepping back in time with the front part of the home boasting original features including a stained glass window , hardwood floorboards, two charming bedrooms and a quaint living room with a pair of brick fireplaces adorning either end of the cosy space.

The modern kitchen (equipped with Blanco oven/cooktop and Bosch dishwasher) and dining space sits at the centre of the home overlooking the large private courtyard to the south. The original cottage is linked to the rear via a hallway along which the renovated contemporary laundry, shower room and family bathroom are located. A second living space with a vaulted timber-lined ceiling, French windows and easy access to the central courtyard offers space to spread out. Two more bedrooms, each with ample storage are located to the rear. Hydronic heating provides warmth throughout, with ceiling fans and three reverse cycle units available for use during warmer months.

It is an easy stroll to Queenscliff’s main street shops, cafes and amenities. ‘Brigadoon’ is in a prime position to enjoy all of the town’s main assets while still being able to retreat to a private haven away from summer crowds. The property operated as a successful holiday rental for many years but is equally suitable as a permanent family home for those seeking a conveniently-located low-maintenance home full of character and charm.
