Queenscliff 20 Bridge Street

At the turn of the 20th Century, amid the prosperous growth of this quaint seaside village, fisherman, taking advantage of the livelihood to be had here, established themselves as close as they could to the water's edge in homes that they could never have imagined would be so highly sought after more than 100 years later.

We know, with photographic certainty, that this particular home was established some time before 1910. Its history prior to the 1950s is unfortunately lost to time, however, the building still retains many clues that hint at a story of comfortable wealth and the success of its founding family.

As with many of these older homes, the fashions of later years, (though lower maintenance) compromised some of the exterior character. Luckily, the interior features remain largely intact. Looking beyond the aged 60s decor, the telltale signs of Edwardian architecture and decor are still visible. The paneled walls, whitewashed timber ceilings, Bakelite switches, ornate picture rails and shelves and surely...beneath the worn carpets...original timber flooring?

There is an excitement about this home; in the stripping back of time's long, slow wearing to reveal its original charm. Rediscovery of the dual fireplace between the front and central sitting rooms is sure to be a memorable occasion, whilst redevelopment of the rear portion of the home will easily accommodate todays modern needs.

Making this an even more delightful investment (in both the past and the future!) is the home's enviable position within metres of the water and Main Street of town. With loads of potential for use of the 441 sqm allotment, even a substantial extension of the 3 bedroom dwelling would allow for a family friendly rear garden and don't forget the property's unique off street parking facility.

Look around these streets, it is clear to see the homes that have already reaped the benefit of renovation and redevelopment along with those currently in progress...a good indication of desirability and future potential value. Not only could this be a home for you to enjoy now, it could also be a very healthy little nest egg for later. All things ARE possible with vision and love.
