Picture-perfect forever home at Barwon Heads

Bellarine Property’s recent listing could easily be described as the perfect “beach house”.

Located at 33 Flinders Parade, Barwon Heads, “Monomeeth” is a locally significant Edwardian style home opposite the Barwon River, recognised for its associations as a substantial guest house last century.

Beautifully restored with modern appeal and comforts, this stately classic residence is one of Barwon Heads’ most iconic homes on rarely-offered Flinders Parade.

Characterised by weatherboards and a verandah that spans the length of the street façade, it has visual connections with the riverfront’s ti-tree reserve.

This superb listing offers a substantial coastal family residence or seaside holiday house for incomparable summers down the coast.

This dream position is as exciting as it is rare in this tightly held river locale, a blue-chip location with opportunities to enhance the views from the current home subject to council approval

Bellarine Property director Levi Turner said this was a property people would wait a lifetime for.

“What a picture-perfect spot, and so close to all Barwon Heads has to offer; it’s just amazing.

“This will certainly make a spectacular forever home for the next family.

“The owners have told us that it has been an extraordinary honour to own this grand old home and recognise its significance as a building that harks back to the early days of Barwon Heads.

“They loved the fact their home is located in a truly spectacular setting, no matter what the season, with world class access to the river, beach and bluff.”

“Monomeeth” is one of the Bellarine Peninsula’s finest and original properties circa 1893 and demonstrates original design qualities of the Edwardian style that include the substantial galvanised corrugated iron broken-back hipped roof, roof gablet and full span capped veranda with fretwork valance. Other qualities include weatherboard cladding, brick and corbelled chimney and timber-framed double hung windows.

It is historically significant as one of the finest guest houses in Barwon Heads from the 1890s to the 1920s.

Although considerably altered, the building is still recognised by part of the local community for its associations as a substantial chalet.The location is a very sought-after address, only paces away from the river shores and thriving café scene.The home boasts an extraordinary living room; soaring timber-lined ceiling and grand original fireplace.
