Panoramic views across Geelong combine with a multitude of living areas, indoors and out, to create the ultimate family lifestyle package.
Set on a wide 1268sqm (approx.) block, this elevated, four-bedroom home enjoys commanding views stretching from Corio Bay and the lights of GMHBA Stadium to Torquay and even Melbourne on a clear day.
A unique 16m x 8m (approx.) garage, workshop and undercover outdoor living room at the rear of the property is the ultimate man-cave or teen getaway with room for boats, caravans and trailers.
And with the Ring Road to Melbourne or the Surf Coast just a three-minute drive away, the home is perfectly situated for work and play.
The entry level features a large formal living room, also practical as a working from home space, taking in the stunning outlook, plus a double bedroom and understairs cellar and storage space big enough to be a room in its own right.
Take the open timber staircase, supported by a historic huge pylon from the old Williamstown pier, to the top-level parents’ retreat with master bedroom, ensuite and walk-in robe, along with a light-filled lounge, both with east-facing balconies so you can enjoy New Year’s Eve fireworks from the comfort of home.
A middle level houses the activity hub, an open-plan kitchen, dining and family zone, separate living area, plus two further bedrooms with built-in robes, a central bathroom and laundry.
The kitchen, overlooking the family room, boasts quality appliances, including induction cooktop and self-cleaning pyrolytic oven, breakfast bar, island bench and abundant storage.
The adjoining meals and living areas accommodate full-size dining and lounge suites, plus a handy central storage unit.
French doors open onto an L-shaped alfresco deck perfect for breakfast in the sun and entertaining.
Step up from the family room to a second large living area readymade as a kids’ play space and with separate access to a paved outdoor area and the yard.
The rear garage/retreat is split into two 8m x 8m zones. A lock-up section has a mezzanine storage level, plus a toilet and shower, while an adjoining undercover open-air space is set up for an outdoor kitchen with room for an entertaining area, outdoor bar or rumpus room.
A second garage for two cars and with direct access to the house, is at the front of the property.
Other highlights include solid timber floors, ducted central heating and evaporative cooling, ceiling fans, wide driveway with remote-control gate, ideal for caravan or boat access, and low-maintenance terraced gardens.
The property is zoned to sought-after Belmont High School and Highton Primary and walking distance to Clairvaux Catholic School and Christian College.
Buses run along Barrabool and Mt Pleasant roads to schools in Newtown.
Shopping in Waurn Ponds and Highton is within easy reach, along with Waurn Ponds train station, Deakin University, Epworth hospital and Leisurelink pool.
And come summer, you’re on the doorstep of the Surf Coast and Great Ocean Road.
