The Feel:
‘Monomeeth’ is a locally significant Edwardian style home opposite the Barwon River, recognised for its associations as a substantial guest house last century. Beautifully restored with modern appeal and comforts, this stately classic residence is one of Barwon Heads’ most iconic homes on rarely offered Flinders Parade. Characterised by weatherboards and a veranda that spans the length of the street façade, it has visual connections with the riverfront’s tea-tree reserve. Substantial coastal family residence or seaside holiday house for incomparable summers down the coast. This dream position is as exciting as it is rare in this tightly held river locale, a blue-chip location with opportunities to enhance the views from the current home (STCA).
