8 Gellibrand Street, Williamstown

Offered for the first time in over half a century, the attributes of this evocative art deco residence are testament to the era.

The rich period integrity of the principal residence is accompanied by the substantial dimensions of an allotment that reaches all the way to Little Osborne Street at the rear. A stunning context for renovation or re-development, STCA, just one block from the sand and the sea of Williamstown Beach.

Baltic pine and hardwood floorboards beneath elegant ornate ceilings convey a sense of period character & charm that's complemented by beautiful art deco lead light timber sash windows in a 3 bedroom home plus study or 4th bedroom that's enticing in its personality and exciting in its sense of possibilities. Options and opportunities present themselves throughout the current format, featuring a central living room with a romantic window seat, that's accompanied by a functional kitchen and a central bathroom that highlight this home's readiness for its next phase.

The potential of this property, and the unique appeal of the opportunities it represents are dramatic and further enhanced by its block's spectacular dimensions and north-facing rear aspect. Currently defined by its impressive depth, the presence of three units to the rear all securely leased and currently offering additional income of over $3700 per month. Triple carport, a storage shed and parking for a caravan/boat provided via the wide rear access to Little Osborne Street, the site's scope is all about the beauty that can be applied to such a sizeable, superbly situated blank canvas.

Literally moments' walk from the beach, enjoy the evening sea breeze and take advantage of Williamstown High School zoning in a location that's further distinguished by its desirable proximity to Sadler and Fearon Reserves, the Williamstown Botanic Gardens and Williamstown Beach station. The option to adopt this landmark property and undertake a renovation project that will contribute contemporary excellence to its classical elegance is matched by the freedom to consider re-developing and re-inventing the north-facing backdrop, STCA, and reap the rewards that will surely follow.
