Queenscliff VIC 3225

Located in Queenscliff's historically significant Ballroom Apartments complex, this three bedroom home has been beautifully reimagined as the ultimate luxury retreat. One of seven apartments, it is the only one that has seen such extensive renovation - completed at the end of 2022 with new kitchen, bathrooms, luxury powder rooms, imported Italian lighting throughout and enviable luxurious finishes paying homage to the 19th century building's glamorous past. Whilst the immediate surrounds are quiet and secure, it could not be better located, just steps away from the town's many cafes, restaurants, parkland and beaches.

Beyond the beautifully manicured shared garden, a private entryway leads into the lower of three levels. White marble tiles line the hallway whilst a striking chandelier accents a black glass feature wall behind. Enter through a large custom barn door and you are met with a completely renovated bathroom occupying an Italian stone bath and basin. The bathroom's one-way reflective glass at-once provides privacy from the hall whilst creating the feel of a much extended space. An adjacent powder room comprising the same high quality Italian tiling and the first of three bedrooms complete the ground floor. Adopting the same glass partition wall, the lower bedroom is serene, with plush carpet, chandelier, and built in robe.

A black spiral staircase winds up into an open plan kitchen/living/dining area. The original double-height window maintains its stained glass grandeur, whilst the north light illuminates a central Italian chandelier. The new kitchen is sleek and luxurious, with white marble benchtops, Miele appliances, brass tapware and an Oliveri sink with sliding cutting-board top. A relaxed dining area meets the main living space, sitting beneath the ornate curved ceiling above. Atop the spiral staircase, the third level benefits from the ballroom's original curves, a stunning Italian imported chandelier, built in storage and plush carpet. An opaque glass balustrade offers privacy yet stunning views of the building's incomparable historic features. One bedroom lies under the curved white ceiling, with a window to the rear, whilst the third bedroom, with its custom chandelier lighting, overlooks the northern window and features its own private powder room with designer vanity.
