Queenscliff 20 Gellibrand Street
The Possibilities are Astounding!
Currently operating as successful holiday accommodation, this classic, original Queenscliff property is filled with all of the history you expect and packed with potential you never dreamed! Whether you are an investor looking for a viable business opportunity in a high demand tourist destination or a large family who requires abundant space, this property is worthy of your attention.
Currently configured as it is, the 5 bedrooms offer spacious guest accommodation with the overall proportions of the home (set on a huge 1,252 sq m allotment facing Port Phillip Bay, with rear lane access from the Main street) being quite staggering. 2 enormous living rooms to the front of the home would once have had labels such as 'drawing room' or 'parlour' but now provide ample room for spreading out and enjoying a spot of television or game of billiards. Each (along with all except one of the bedrooms) still boasts an original fireplace with marble and/or timber surrounds. Further Victorian and earlier 19th century detailing is present throughout the home in the form of ceiling roses, picture rails, polished timber floors, double hung windows and even a wood burning stove in the kitchen.
The Kitchen a modern kitchen fit out with stone benchtops, stainless steel appliances, twin dish drawers and full butler's pantry, enabling residents the ability to prepare nourishing meals and share them in the expansive dining area or adjacent alfresco courtyard.
With plenty of secluded areas to escape to in the form of a cosier sitting room and three enclosed verandahs, finding an area to enjoy some quiet, shade or winter warmth from the sun is an easy task that highlights just how resplendent this home is with unique turn-of-the-century features.
Two bathrooms (one ensuite) plus an additional powder room ensure that the bathing needs of a large family or multiple guests are catered to with the main bathroom home to an impressive claw foot tub and twin pedestal basins.
This is not a property to be taken lightly. Not only is it a fine example of Victorian architecture and detail, but it is also located directly opposite Princess Park and ocean beaches with the marina development and Main street shopping just seconds walk away. Add to that the unmistakable potential to capitalise on the multi-million dollar tourist industry or significant historical value and size of the home and your investment in the future could well be shaped by the magnificence of the past!

Important Information
Fletchers Area Guide Queenscliff, VIC 3225
Situated on Bellarine Peninsula and the entrance to Port Phillip Bay, Queenscliff's first residents came in the 1850s. The settlement received a fillip 20 years later when a rail service connected the town to Geelong. Today, that rail service only runs 16 km from Drysdale - now as a tourist attraction. The Bellarine Rail Trail is a walking and cycling track that largely follows the railway line. Historical buildings abound in and around Queenscliff's commercial centre.
