Sense of history in quaint seaside home

A century of history has been revitalised in the heart of Queenscliff with the loving restoration of this charming period residence.

17 Stokes Street is a circa-1910 property that has recently undergone a modern facelift to provide a host of present-day comforts while retaining original components that provide a unique character throughout the property.

A timeless weatherboard façade including iron lacework behind an old-school white picket fence sets the tone form the outset.

Exposed brick wall features continue the historical personality inside, as does an outdoor brick chimney and fireplace at the outdoor living area.

Inside the renovation includes a stone kitchen featuring high-quality appliances, soft close extendable cupboards and an island bench.

The master suite has its original fireplace and an ensuite, while two further updated bedrooms each have built-in robes and use a second bathroom.

Outside includes an undercover deck and low-maintenance lawn, plus a second paved area around a woodfire pizza oven.

All of this is within a short walk to Queenscliff’s iconic Hesse Street shops and the beach.

RT Edgar Bellarine is selling this property for an expected price of $1.695 million to $1.795 million.

An open house is scheduled tomorrow morning (Saturday, March 4) from 11am.
