Queenscliff VIC 3225

Charming Tobin s Cottage offers a glimpse into the rich past of Queenscliff. Once the home of George Tobin, the 1st Ships Pilot of Port Phillip Bay, today this historic residence is a wonderful coastal escape with the beach, Swan Bay and boutique shopping at its doorstep. With a second, self-contained 4 bed cottage sitting privately to the rear of the home, this large site has the potential for subdivision (STCA) or use as accommodation.
Comprised of the original shop front and a more recent extension, Tobin s Cottage has a welcoming, family-sized floorplan with 4 beds, 2 baths, 2 living areas (one with an open fire) and a sunny terrace that overlooks the rambling gardens. Romantic interiors are rich with period features including soaring ceilings, polished timber floorboards and timber linings to the walls and ceilings. The modernised kitchen has a dishwasher and granite benchtops and a wide island bench that grants a comfy spot to peruse the paper. French doors connect the grand open-plan living/dining with the terrace, creating a breezy indoor-outdoor hub. The master bedroom is a vision in pale green and has the convenience of an en suite and RC-AC. The family bathroom boasts a claw foot bath. The meandering gardens are home to an elegant Port Jackson Fig, and hold a bounty of pleasant places to sit and enjoy the sunshine. Off-street parking is in abundance.
With the potential to subdivide (STCA) or utilise as holiday accommodation, this historic family home is a must-inspect. Land size 1,022 sqm approx.
