Share This Property


Positioned in a prime beachfront location mid-way between Semaphore and Largs Bay this late 1800's solid brick Victorian bay window villa with return verandah displays the genuine qualities and classic proportions typical of the era. It includes a feature bay window, huge rooms, lofty ceilings and many original features. It is ideal to be restored to original period charm. The home has been maintained as a family home for many years and has the added advantage of being on 2 allotments on the one title with full rear access to Percy Street.

The front entrance opens to the traditional wide entrance hall and passageway with feature central arch and polished parquetry flooring. Offering some flexibility with the floor plan, this home presently comprises a beautiful formal lounge with the bay window overlooking the sea and a magnificent white marble fireplace surround with gas heating installed. Also enjoying beach views there is a gracious formal dining room with open fireplace, decorative timber mantle piece and cast iron fireplace.

There are 3 double size bedrooms two with built-in wardrobes and two with open fireplaces and stained Baltic timber flooring. A prominent feature in the main bedroom is the stunning black slate mantle piece around the open fireplace. The practical eat-in kitchen has plenty of space with an electric stove, range hood, stainless steel sink and ample cupboard space.

Impressive internal features include lofty ceilings, intricate ceiling rose in the lounge, moulded cornices, high skirtings, moulded architraves, solid timber doors with ceramic hand plates and door handles and a deep dry cellar - ideal for (wine) storage.

The northern side of the return verandah has been enclosed and utilised as two sunrooms or hobby rooms plus a separate shower room with vanity cabinet, a separate toilet and a second tiled bathroom with bath and shower plus pedestal hand basin. On the southern side of the front verandah, with the advantage of uninterrupted views to the horizon, is a self-contained office extension.

An assortment of outbuildings in the large rear yard include a double garage and carport (each with entry from Percy Street) several storage sheds, a workshop with power and lighting connected, a large laundry, a fernery and second toilet. Two large rainwater tanks, an electric boosted solar hot water system and an operating bore are included. Iron lace work across the front verandah, the slate tiled roof and two chimneystacks simply add to the character of this charming villa.

This substantial home has loads of restoration potential and plenty of space. It is in an exceptional seafront position offering the perfect opportunity for future enhancement or even perhaps development, subject to all necessary consents, whilst enjoying an enviable seafront lifestyle.
