In the quiet, tree-lined avenues of Drumcondra stands a home so replete with elegance and grace that to call it merely a property would be a grave simplification; it is, in every sense, a masterpiece of Edwardian architecture, lovingly stewarded through the decades. Beyond its stately façade, this residence unfolds in a symphony of enchanting spaces—three resplendent bedrooms and a constellation of living areas that invite transformation and vision. The principal ballroom-esque salon is a theatrical ode to era, crowned with soaring ceilings, intricate cornices, and the lustre of classical light fixtures, all painted in hues that echo the venerable heritage from which this abode springs. Each chamber is graced with leadlight windows, festooned fireplaces, and lavish drapery, creating a tapestry of old-world beauty that murmurs tales of yesteryear, reimagined for today's discerning connoisseur.
At the very heart of the home, a modernised bathroom shimmers immaculately, and the kitchen reveals itself as a gourmand's delight—where Finnish granite and illustrious Miele appointments conspire to inspire culinary artistry. The hand of Ray & Sheryl is evident in every thoughtful mosaic and lovingly curated vignette, weaving a thread of personal artistry and warmth throughout. By day, sunlight dances across intricate cast iron fretwork, bay windows, ceiling roses and upon the lush, meandering gardens—an established sanctuary brimming with edible harvests, perfumed blooms, and a wrap-around greenery that whispers calm at every turn.
A rare feature, yet so seamlessly executed, the double garage (with an additional open car space and coveted rear lane access) is crowned by a stately studio and study, complete with a sun-kissed balcony that beckons one to greet the sunrise over Corio Bay. Multiple balconies invite reflection, while the rear entertainment terrace—as if presiding over a private estate—overlooks the mesmerising gardens, offering a precinct for celebration, contemplation, or simple repose, all nested upon a generous 605sqm allotment of possibilities.
The address is itself a chapter of Geelong's most cherished narrative, set within a community synonymous with affluence, peace, and a sense of camaraderie reminiscent of the golden days—where children's laughter rings in leafy streets, and the world seems a gentler place. With the city's waterfront, vibrant CBD, world-class transport, beaches, and myriad destinations folding effortlessly within arm's reach, this home is as much an investment in lifestyle as it is in legacy.
For the seeker who prizes unmatched character, classical beauty, and a truly heart-warming, awe-inspiring opportunity—where every stone has indeed been lovingly turned—there will be few peers on the market. Here, within these storied walls, the promise of heritage and the thrill of potential unite, awaiting only the next discerning custodian.
The Geelong Agency welcomes you home.
