'Bellrive' is a c1914 Edwardian residence of considerable scale, where ornate period detail and thoughtful contemporary family spaces sit within approximately 1,014sqm of landscaped grounds.
The covered verandah introduces stained-glass windows, decorative ceilings, open fireplaces and herringbone timber floors. A formal lounge and separate library provide quieter settings, while black-framed windows and French doors bring light and garden outlooks to the expansive open-plan living and dining domain. At its centre, the kitchen features a substantial island, top-of-the-range Miele built-in refrigerator, two Miele dishwashers, an Ilve freestanding double oven, a butler's pantry and generous storage.
Five bedrooms include a private main suite with dressing room, ensuite and balcony. A self-contained retreat above the garage provides adaptable accommodation as a bedroom, studio or home office. Three bathrooms, a powder room, laundry, mud room with built-in seating and extensive storage support the home's family-focused layout.
French doors extend to a rear entertaining deck and an expansive lawn - offering the scale and flexibility of a substantial backyard - alongside a glass-fenced inground pool framed by established gardens. A double garage with rear-lane access, additional garage space and solar panels complement ducted heating and reverse-cycle air conditioning.
The home has also featured in House & Garden, with interiors designed by Diane Bergeron. Douglas Parade shops, Williamstown Central Tennis Club, Dennis Reserve, Williamstown Primary School, Williamstown Hospital and Williamstown Beach Station are all within the surrounding Williamstown setting.
