Queenscliff

<html><body><div class="tg-tlc-storybody_intro">
The landmark Queenscliff property, Lathamstowe has been listed with $6 million plus hopes for January 31 auction. 
The 44 Gellibrand Street offering is an 1883 Victorian Italianate heritage-registered masterpiece.
It was built as a gift from the former owner of Carlton United Breweries, Edward Latham to the Anglican Church for its clergy to use it as a retreat and resting place. 
The listing agent James Gladman, of Fletchers Queenscliff, said it was a historic and landmark property not only in Queenscliff but also in Victoria. It is offered <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-queenscliff-124318218" target="_blank">in conjunction with Kay &amp; Burton</a>.  
During the ownership of Loucas Adams, the mansion has been used as a residence and a bed and breakfast on its 1640 sq m block.
There are impressions of approved renovation plans designed by Threowan Architecture, interiors by Hecker Guthrie and landscape design by Paul Bangay.
The house, built by Thomas William Dally as a duplex designed by William J. Ellis, retains original features including stained glass windows, pressed metal ceilings, marble fireplaces and a cast iron spiral stairway to the peak of its 23 metre tower. The original sheet-lead roof weighed more than 20 tonnes and is believed to be the first substantial flat roof built in Victoria. 
It was sold by the church at $600,000 in 1993 to the Riddell family.
It had been passed in at $570,000, against a reserve of $650,000.
Heritage Victoria says Lathamstowe and the former Baillieu House Hotel together presented an homogenous streetscape, their French Renaissance styled tower-roofs followed from the Grand Hotel (now altered) to create a skyline character within a compact area peculiar to Queenscliff.
"These buildings encapsulate the aspirations of Queenscliff as a Victorian seaside resort, and there is no other group in Victoria which closely approaches these."

Lathamstowe, Queenscliff listed with $6 million plus hopes

A historic mansion that is currently run as a restaurant and bar in the Victoria’s Bellarine Peninsula is on the market.
The <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-queenscliff-126546886" target="_blank">34-38 King Street</a> property is one of Queenscliff’s iconic buildings and has a $5 million to $5.5 million price guide. 
It previously sold for $2.2 million in 2013, CoreLogic RP Data shows.
According to its description, in 1854, William Leigh, one of Queenscliff's first residents, planned to build the first considerably sized hotel in the region. 
Originally made of fine grade timbers, the first election for the newly established Borough of Queenscliff was held within its walls in 1863 before being destroyed by fire the following decade. The Royal Hotel as we know it today was rebuilt, this time even larger and grander, in the early 1880s.
The Royal Hotel was rechristened Hotel Q after owners Katalin and Stephen Blond went in for a “full-on restoration”, according to the Geelong Advertiser.

Currently used as a restaurant and bar, the ground floor offers a flexible floorplan with multiple zones that can be self-contained for either commercial or residential use. 
The beach house is suitable for various uses. It can be divided into two mansions with separate entrances, transformed into luxury seaside apartments, or used as a restaurant, bar or wedding venue subject to council approval. 
Zoned Residential One, there is the option of developing another building or apartments subject to council approval. 
The selling agents were James Gladman and Lee Botsios of Fletchers.

Maytone, the historic grand manor in Queenscliff, has been listed for sale.
The property, which gives its name to the beach it faces, was <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-queenscliff-127327330" target="_blank">built in the 1880s</a> and has had a long and rich history.
It was built for the staunch Victorian parliamentarian, Solicitor-General and Crown Prosecutor Travers Adamson.
The Victorian Government bought the property in the late 1890s. It was acquired by the military and became the home of the Fort Queenscliff Commandant, then later as the Fort's Officers' Mess.

The garages were a later addition to the property, built in 1939. During WWII they served as the Artillery Store for the two 4.7 inch guns known as the Crowns' Nest Battery.
Ownership was then passed to the Commonwealth, and in the mid 90's ownership became private and it was converted into a guest house.
It has six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, a music room, sitting room, and library. The balcony has Point Nepean views and a heritage chimney is retained. 
There's also a one bedroom cottage on the 1,025 sqm parcel. 
Fletchers Queenscliff agents James Gladman and Charles Caldwell are marketing the property.

Renovated since last traded for $3.8 million in 2008, the tri-level home on its 805 sqm Pavilion Street block has five bedrooms, five bathrooms and two home offices.

The $12 million was secured just four days into its marketing by the dentist David Eyles and his wife Patricia.
It was bought by a buyer from the upper north shore.
There had been 21 groups at its only open inspection last Saturday.
Late last year the Queenscliff residential price record was set when fund manager Andrew Formica spent $10 million on a Crown Road home with direct access to Freshwater Beach.
He snapped the four bedroom property up in just 15 days, in doing so toppling the previous $5 million record set in 2016.

A historic Italianate mansion, in Victoria’s coastal region of Queenscliff, has come onto the market after undergoing extensive renovations. 
Katalin and Stephen Blond are the vendors of the ten-bedroom residence at 34-36 King Street.
“We thought it was the most beautiful building that was in need of some love and attention” says Ms Blond.
When they bought it, the building was in a very poor condition having lived through more than 100 years of deterioration.
It was built in 1854, as a seaside hotel, carefully positioned to be outside the city limits for Geelong drinkers – at the time, being 17 miles or more from the CBD meant you could drink on a weekend.
The listing notes the versatility of the address, stating that it could be used as a beach house, divided into two mansions with separate entrances, transformed into luxury seaside apartments, or used for commercial purposes as a restaurant, bar, or wedding venue.
It will go to auction on December 7 with a price guide between $3,750,000 to $4,100,000.
