47 Hesse Street

Queenscliff VIC 3225

Sitting majestically behind Queenscliff's historic Post Office on the corner of Hesse and Hobson Streets, this landmark residence has been restored to its original Colonial splendour, while also being complemented by numerous contemporary comforts. The result is a gracious family home that proudly displays its heritage while providing all the modern lifestyle essentials. The downstairs Post Office space, which is currently securely leased, creates a passive income of over $33,000 pa.
Flanked by pencil pines and a finely manicured garden, entry is via imposing stairs that lead to a return verandah and a front door framed by artisan leadlighting. The entrance foyer displays polished timber flooring, carpet runners, 13-foot ceilings and a spectacular chandelier. Beyond is a magnificent staircase with turned wooden handrail and balusters.
The grand dining room boasts curtained sash windows, a spectacular cast-iron and marble fireplace, and even its own 700-bottle, bluestone cellar below. Across the passage, the kitchen combines the character of a bygone era with today's finest culinary technology - a Neff electric wall oven and gas cooktop, plus a gleaming Miele dishwasher. There's also a discreet bathroom/laundry with a shower and WC.
