8 Thompson Street, Williamstown, Vic 3016

Perfectly positioned near an array of lifestyle attractions, this prized Queen Anne residence with two distinct frontages presents an exceptional opportunity to enjoy now, renovate over time, and make a lasting mark in one of Williamstown’s most prestigious seaside pockets.

Rich in history as the former Watchhouse Keeper’s quarters (c.1907), the home’s interior radiates warmth and character. From Baltic pine floors and ornate fretwork to decorative fireplaces and soaring pressed-metal ceilings, every detail enhances its timeless period charm.

Three oversized bedrooms offer excellent storage and flexibility, complemented by a smartly updated bathroom. A spacious front sitting room doubles beautifully as a fourth bedroom for guests, while the central kitchen/meals area — featuring premium appliances and a walk-in pantry — flows seamlessly into a separate, generous lounge.

Outside, the substantial backyard offers endless potential — whether for family entertaining, kids' play, or future expansion — with secure off-street parking, a large shed, and the added advantage of dual access via Thompson Street (including two crossovers).

Council plans for a striking five-bedroom family home are already approved, accompanied by a thoughtfully crafted garden design by renowned Eckersley Landscape Architects of Richmond — offering buyers a clear and elegant pathway to the next chapter.

Ready to enjoy as is, with scope for a tasteful future revamp, additional highlights include heating and cooling, a full-size laundry, and beautifully proportioned spaces throughout.

This is lifestyle living at its best — just footsteps from Nelson Place and Ferguson Street’s shops, cafés, bars, and restaurants, the foreshore, Point Gellibrand, acres of parkland, Williamstown Station, and zoned Williamstown Primary and High Schools.
