Old Torquay remains popular for those looking to be in the heart of town with everything you need at your fingertips: beach, park, shopping and a diverse range of caf\u00e9s and eateries.<\/p>\n
The most sought-after area in central Torquay is on roads that run into Taylor Park from the highway providing far less traffic than those that run through to the beach, creating a much more enjoyable and relaxing seaside lifestyle.<\/p>\n
One Agency Torquay have once such listing in this sought-after precinct; 6 Spring Street is steeped in history with an artisan vibe. This miner\u2019s cottage (circa 1870) has been updated for contemporary living whilst all of its original character remains intact.<\/p>\n
From the front gate a paved brick pathway meanders through native landscaping and leads you indoors and back in time.<\/p>\n
Director Shaun O\u2019Callaghan said that this home is truly unique and proudly displays the welcoming features of yesteryear.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the 19th century glass in the front door panel to the wood heater in the loungeroom which is actually a Nectre wood stove, this charming 1870\u2019s miners\u2019 cottage sits at home in this quiet street,\u201d Mr O\u2019Callaghan said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe house was moved here from Ballarat in 1919 and the current vendor has owned it since 1986. It was known as the \u2018Spring St Club\u2019 in the 1950s.\u201d<\/p>\n
The open plan living zone feels warm and welcoming with its Victorian Ash flooring, timber accents and log fire, and includes a cosy sitting area and updated kitchen. There are three spacious bedrooms plus a bonus room that would suit overflow accommodation or a home office. Double glazed in the main house, fully insulated, re-stumped and boasting solar power and hydronic heating, this home is not only charming but has a practical nature too. Meticulous care has been taken to honour the past and to create livability for right now \u2013 the result is a home full of heart and soul.<\/p>\n
