The Gippsland coastal town of Port Albert is enjoying a quiet renaissance, although still home to the region's fishing fleet, a steady migration of people keen to escape the daily pressures of suburbia have gravitated to this historic coastal village.
One of the region's most photographed properties Gowrie House' is intrinsically linked to the towns earliest days. Built in 1856, the exterior is lovingly restored reminiscent to the era.
The current owners have transformed the interior into a stylish contemporary residence; light filled and liveable whilst retaining many original features such as open fire places, Baltic pine flooring, lead lighting and colonial window awnings.
Sited at the rear of this huge 1740sqm property is a fully insulated building of industrial dimensions - 60' x 30', 3 phase power with an electrical 3 tonne gantry, toilet facilities and a separate water supply.
With rear street access, this building provides incredible scope as either a first class facility for a business enterprise or a grand venue to house and restore the collection'.
Attached to the residence and fronting the main street, the orginal drapery shop front still forms part of Port Albert's inspirational streetscape. Now utilized as an office, its centre of town position presents a multitude of possibilities.
This enviable location, its eye-catching street appeal and unique features elevate Gowrie House to a class of its own.
