Williamstown VIC 3016

Victorian cottages have always held a special place in the heart of many Melburnians, and their importance to the story of Williamstown’s maritime origins makes their presence such a signature of the area. This enticing example conveys all the character that’s associated with its era, complemented by the scope to renovate when ready, STCA, so that as period classic it will remain as appealing as ever in the contemporary context.

Secluded yet so convenient, featuring the significant asset of extensive second frontage to Norval Close, the enduring charm of the façade’s lacework verandah creates an evocative first impression. Inside, the high ceilings, pine floorboards and dado paneling of the entrance hall introduce a two bedroom floor-plan featuring a central living room, with reverse cycle heating/cooling, and a separate kitchen/meals area that opens to the sunny side porch.

The bathroom and separate laundry adjacent to the rear bedroom remain entirely functional, further complementing the ‘enjoy today, update tomorrow’ personality of the rewarding property. A garden backdrop highlights the sense of potential, including the possibility of adding off street parking, in a setting defined by its proximity to the water, Williamstown station, the Botanic Gardens, Williamstown Primary School and the vibrancy of the shopping and cafes.
