69 Victoria Street, Williamstown

The appeal of Victoria Street's period properties and the attraction of a location that puts schools, shopping and the beach within such easy reach are well known. Those who watch this exceptional area of Williamstown will also recognize this classically elegant Federation era home as one the street's last remaining un-renovated residences. Now, the waiting and the watching can come to an end as the opportunity arrives to capture this evocative family address and create its fabulous future.

A façade that's rich in original integrity, featuring a romantic verandah, timber trim, hardwood floorboards and leadlight windows reflects the enduring character of the spaces that await beyond. The charm of pressed metal ceilings and the patina that only the passage of time can convey define a sitting room that retains its open fire-place. A separate living room and a kitchen/dining domain that's a picture of previously updated retro style add to the sense of potential while three bedrooms, a study/fourth bedroom and a central bathroom remain entirely serviceable.

The options for renovating and the opportunities for re-inventing, STCA, are significantly complemented by the dimensions of a rear garden that reaches to a convenient laneway right-of-way. The backdrop's original garage and shed and the additional driveway parking accessed from Victoria Street add to the exceptional scope that is such a signature of this local landmark.

A property that was designed as a grand family home – and is clearly ready to fulfil such a role again – offers irresistible potential in a position that will play its part in ensuring the traditions of the past and the spaces of today produce a stunning outcome tomorrow. Walk to the water, Williamstown High School, shops, cafes and Williamstown Beach station from the perfect project property.
