11 Mill Lane, Williamstown, VIC, 3016

Built by its current owner and appreciated as a fabulous home for the past 21 years, this stunning residence makes the utmost of a location that is clearly amongst the most appealing that Williamstown has to offer. The green of Sadler Reserve, the sandy expanse of Williamstown Beach and the blue of the bay beyond form a brilliant natural outlook for a series of spaces that convey exceptional, enduring quality complemented by the beauty of the views and the flexibility of a self-contained apartment above the double garage accessed from Port Phillip Crescent at the rear.

Entered from its significant second frontage to Sands Place, a gorgeous ground floor greets you, accompanied by an elegant terrace that looks towards the water. Two double bedrooms, a beautifully appointed spa bathroom and a separate laundry add to the ground floor attraction before an alfresco entertaining area offers a perfect balance of sunshine, share and seclusion. Beyond, the secure double garage and its upstairs apartment form the ideal conclusion to a level that creates a fabulous first impression. The ground floor also features central heating.

The sense of style of sophistication ascends to first floor dimensions framed by front and rear balconies that deliver an indoor-outdoor mood entirely in keeping with this landmark home’s coastal context. Elegantly low-maintenance tiled floors, a combustion log heater, a granite and stainless steel appointed open-plan kitchen with a six burner 900mm Smeg oven, the beauty of the balcony and the appealing proportions of the sun-drenched rear terrace each contribute to spaces that make their quality immediately, abundantly apparent. The first floor also includes reverse cycle heating and cooling.

A top floor offering the ultimate parents’ retreat features a luxuriously large bedroom, walk-in robe, an exceptionally appointed ensuite, a dedicated study space and a living room that basks in natural light. The presence of two further balconies enhances this outstanding top floor zone where the vibrancy and the views are a constant, captivating source of pleasure. Reverse cycle heating and cooling also feature on this level. Imitation log gas fires, an instant hot water service and the self-contained flexibility of the garage’s apartment further enhance a fabulous home sitting on slab that has raised columns. Compelling every day, in every way.
