85 Nelson Place, Williamstown VIC 3016

A rare opportunity to acquire a historic seafront property, the "Old Royal Hotel" offers an infinite array of exciting options with stunning Bay-to-city views and a walk-everywhere location in the heart of Williamstown. Originally arising from the streetscape in 1852 with a baroque façade that perfectly reflects the prosperity of its era, today this eye-catching building is an absolute ornament to iconic Nelson Place. A once grand hotel, the 3 storey interior has most recently been used as a boarding house comprising towering ceilings and hydronic heating throughout 19 spacious rooms, 5 workable kitchens and 6 bathrooms.

Those with vision may write any number of happy endings for this stately old soul; utilize the current layout for budget or backpacker accommodation, explore commercial or retail uses or revamp and reconfigure to create luxurious boutique apartments. There's even the potential to use the deep gardens on 973 sqm approx. with 2nd frontage to Aitken St for additional multi-townhouse development (STCA).

You'll only be limited by your imagination here on the waterfront, where that be ship gazing on Port Phillip Bay, admiring the city views, wandering the nearby boutiques and cafes, sampling the latest restaurants, exploring the Maritime precinct or easily accessing the CBD/Southbank via ferry, train, tram, bus and bike can all become a fabulous daily routine.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to savor the past and rewrite the future for this legendary Williamstown landmark.
