Description: Positioned in one of Warrnambool's most tightly held lifestyle pockets, 36 Stanley Street offers a rare blend of eco-innovation, flexibility and relaxed coastal flow - all framed by sprawling views across the Merri River. Originally crafted from recycled materials and thoughtfully re-purposed shipping containers, this home was recognised in 2019 as the No. 6 Eco-Friendly Home in its category - a testament to its forward-thinking design and environmental integrity. A Home Designed for Flexibility Thoughtfully configured to offer exceptional flexibility, the home can function as two completely self-contained residences or one expansive four-bedroom home. Previously operated successfully as short-term accommodation, the layout provides the option to generate dual income, live in one residence while leasing the other, or simply open the connecting doors to enjoy the space as one cohesive family home. Projecting beyond a 5% return. The versatility is seamless - privacy when you want it, connection when you need it. Inside the Home Four bedrooms Two living zones Two fully equipped kitchens Two bathrooms Expansive open-plan zones filled with natural light A large rear entertaining deck overlooking the Merri River Shadow boxing over external windows The deck becomes the heartbeat of the home - a place for slow mornings, long lunches, and sunset drinks as the river glows in the evening light. The Investment Edge Previously operated as two separate Airbnb accommodations, Retro River Rest proved to be a profitable short-term rental opportunity. For investors, it offers dual-income potential in a high-demand coastal region. For owner-occupiers, it presents the perfect hybrid: live in one wing while maintaining passive income from the other - flexibility that is rarely available in this market. Practicality Meets Lifestyle A substantial 10 x 7.5m three-bay shed provides exceptional storage, workshop space, or room for recreational gear ideal for those embracing the river-meets-ocean lifestyle. Retro River Rest is more than a home - it's a concept. Sustainable. Adaptable. Income-ready. A private retreat between river and sea, designed to move with the way you live.
