27 Symonds Street, Queenscliff, Vic 3225

Some homes become more compelling with time and here the original design has kept its voice. Cedar frames the changing light across Swan Bay, while the upper living level opens fully to the view. There is restraint in every line and a quiet confidence that gives this house its lasting presence.

The foresight behind the home is evident in the way each space has been positioned to make the most of light and water. Living and dining occupy the upper level where the bay can be fully appreciated, with the kitchen remaining visually connected. The direct north facing balcony follows the sun throughout the day before revealing western skies across distant farmland. The main bedroom sits privately on this level, while the fitted study can shift into a fourth bedroom or second living space as required.

That same sense of connection continues below, where the front verandah, entry and established garden take in a broad sweep of Swan Bay. Two generous bedrooms sit alongside the original bathroom, while the rear undercover area extends the home outdoors with a sink and preparation bench ready for the day’s catch.

The enduring appeal lies in the strength of the architecture and the extraordinary outlook it was created to embrace. Lovingly held and immediately liveable, the home offers a rare opportunity to honour what is already here while shaping the next chapter with equal care. The bay is almost at the door, the rail trail follows the foreshore and Hesse Street is an easy stroll away. Take the ferry to Sorrento, buy fresh seafood straight off the boat, kayak at first light or read the Sunday papers on the verandah with Swan Island beyond. The original ethos remains intact and feels more relevant now than ever.
