Character homes are the essence of Belmont's heritage - and if you love period homes and living in the heart of a bayside city - then this is the home for you. The classic but vibrant weatherboard exterior and cottage garden are enough to take you back in time to this much celebrated era, while the double storey home boasts many original features including, polished floors, wood skirtings, high ceilings, decorative cornices, ceiling roses & stunning pendant light fittings. Typically, the home provides 4 very spacious carpeted bedrooms with large built-in robes. A formal lounge & living room have a comfortable connection to the outdoors and to the versatile country style kitchen and dining room enhanced by sun filtering through the original lead light window. Additionally, a large front room acts as a second more formal lounge or if required a fifth bedroom. Upstairs the wooden staircase leads to yet another magnificent display with pressed metal storage cabinet and two of the four bedrooms and bathroom. Outside the patio combines a mix of decking and recycled brick paying and now incorporates a spa for relaxation and the perfect spot to take in the outdoors. The garage with rear access to the property again is an asset to the property. The location puts you very close to both Belmont Village & High Street, various schooling options, trendy cafes and restaurants and allows you the option to join the various water activities associated along the very picturesque Barwon River. Long-standing, the home has been exceptionally well maintained and is beautifully presented. 8 Collins Street, in its day would have been a class above and still today can equally boast the same title.
