Two dwellings, one remarkable Hesse Street holding and a history that reaches back to the 1920s, this is Queenscliff character with more than one story to tell. Behind its character rich bungalow facade with Californian influences, stained glass, decorative gable and deep verandah, the property brings together the romance of a period home, the rarity of a separate rear cottage and the kind of flexibility that makes this address truly stand alone.
First recorded in McConchie ownership in 1926, with the rear cottage understood to predate the main residence, the home carries a layered local history shaped by storekeepers, holidaymakers and decades of shared family summers. Inside, the main residence honours that past through high ceilings, timber floors, fretwork, stained glass, open fireplaces, deep hallway proportions and generous rooms that feel beautifully grounded in their era. A traditional front living room, multiple bedrooms including a study option, central kitchen and dining space, family bathroom and rear sunroom create a warm and highly functional period floorplan.
The separate rear cottage changes the entire proposition. Privately placed beyond the garden, it offers two bedrooms, or one bedroom plus additional living area, kitchen/dining area, bathroom, and sunroom/retreat, creating genuine versatility for extended family, visiting guests, independent work or accommodation potential (STCA). Previously let on a separate basis, it gives the property proven flexibility while preserving the nostalgic charm of a much loved holiday home.
Outdoors, the grounds unfold like a true Queenscliff estate, with a broad deck, mature trees, verandah, garage/store, separate laundry and private garden spaces linking both dwellings. From this prized Hesse Street position, village life, schools, sporting facilities, the lookout, harbour and beach access are all within easy reach. Rich in story, rare in configuration and almost impossible to replicate.
