45 Waratah Street, Geelong West VIC 3218

Contemporary family living combines seamlessly with heritage charm in this stylish double-fronted Victorian home a short stroll from vibrant Pakington St.
Leave the car at home because some of Geelong’s restaurants, cafes, shops and schools are right on your doorstep.
Or entertain in the weatherboard home’s light-filled kitchen, dining and living zone, which flows through to an enclosed outdoor timber deck that can be used in any weather.
With a fireplace, TV, built-in barbecue and drinks fridge, plus clear, retractable café-type blinds, the deck is a year-round family-friendly entertainment zone.
Step past the classic white picket fence to appreciate the period features at the front of the home, including bull-nose verandah, fretwork, dado rails and decorative arch in the wide hallway, and Baltic pine floors in the main traffic areas.
The front section houses three generous bedrooms, all with classic fireplaces, along with a family-size laundry with loads of bench and storage space.
The master bedroom includes a modern ensuite and walk-in robe, while the other two bedrooms have built-in robes.
But the back of the house is really where the family action is, with the kitchen overlooking two lounge areas, a study nook, breakfast bar and a dining area designed for family mealtimes.
The quality kitchen boasts high-end appliances including a Smeg oven and cooktop, stone benchtops and storage options galore.
A double garage with home office is conveniently accessed from a rear lane.
Further afield from the back deck is an established, low-maintenance garden with plenty of play space for the kids.
Other highlights include ducted heating, split system heating and cooling units, plantation shutters in the family zone, central bathroom and a picture-perfect front garden.
The property is walking distance from the Woolworths supermarket at Pakington Strand and Ashby and St Patrick’s primary schools.
It’s also a short drive to Bakers Reserve and Sparrow Park, Geelong railway station, the waterfront and the CBD.
