40 John Street, Williamstown VIC 3016

The appeal of the options and the attraction of the address are beautifully matched – this classic double fronted cottage's current day spaces represent a hugely rewarding opportunity to appreciate their character while considering their exceptional scope, STCA. A coveted site featuring the natural asset of a north-facing rear aspect, the sought after convenience of rear laneway access and the significant lifestyle appeal of proximity to The Strand, the water and Douglas Parade provides an ideal context for such a tempting project.

The traditional profile of the street presence, an engaging, enticing façade and free-standing independence precede interior spaces that commence with the central hall's original Baltic pine floorboards beneath high ceilings. Three bedrooms surrounding a central living room convey the personality that defines the present day proportions, complemented by a separate kitchen/meals area where the functionality of a previous update persists.

A bathroom that's similarly basic yet serviceable, a separate laundry and a storage room complete today's dimensions before the outdoor backdrop deliver its sunny north-facing spaces, a majestic mature fig tree and the added advantage of roll-a-door right-of-way access to the rear laneway. The potential to add off street parking, STCA, to this exceptionally exciting property applies yet another layer of allure to a project that will provide outstanding ongoing rewards.

Across Williamstown's extensively renovated streetscape only few opportunities to pursue such positive potential become available – this is precisely such an opening in one of the area's most attractive settings, poised to appreciate the best of Williamstown, Newport and the bay.
