Williamstown VIC 3016

Classically Victorian in its image, creatively modern in its ideas, this charming free-standing three bedroom Victorian cottage reveals impressive, inviting spaces both inside and out on an allotment that concludes with the exceptional convenience of a secure double garage accessed from second frontage to Haslam Street. The speed and ease with The Strand and the water can be walked to is matched by equally attractive proximity to Douglas Parade shops and cafes from a property that also puts Ferguson Street, Nelson Place and public transport within moments' reach. Brilliant!

A faade that's purely, perfectly Victorian, featuring the lacework, polished timber verandah that's such a signature of the era. Once inside, an elegantly sky-lit entrance hall framed by high ceilings and modern timber floors introduces three double bedrooms, each offering a welcoming sense of character and comfort, all complemented by built-in robes. The stylish central bathroom combines modern fittings and finishes, underfloor heating and a separate shower with the period touch, entirely updated, of free-standing clawfoot bath while designer tiles and a double vanity add to the appeal.

Beyond, a spectacular sky-light contributes to the beautiful brightness of a living and dining area where the contrasting, complementary tones of timber floors and an exposed brick feature wall deliver desirable aesthetics. Zoned & dual climate ducted heating/cooling and a wood burning fire ensure constant comfort throughout this superb extended space, accompanied by an open-plan kitchen equipped with stone benches, a central island, ample cabinetry, dual drawer dish-washer and a suite of Miele appliances including a coffee machine.
