60 Mcdougall Street, Geelong West VIC 3218

No expense has been spared in the top-to-bottom renovation of this heritage home in the heart of Geelong West.
The rebuild has resulted in a classy home with original style and charm, while creating a sought-after modern open-plan living area that flows out to a north-facing backyard with undercover and alfresco entertaining options.
The Californian bungalow boasts new weatherboards and plasterboard, restumping, new wiring, plumbing and insulation throughout, new roofing and guttering and all new appliances.
From the front door, the home flows through from the living room, with gas log fire, to the modern kitchen and dining area that opens out through double French doors to the entertaining area and low-maintenance garden, including an impressive, commercial-size, built-in wood-fired pizza oven.
The fully updated kitchen features an island bench, stone benchtops, stainless-steel appliances, including a 900mm gas cooktop, pantry, loads of storage space and the latest easy-lift dishwasher.
Two generous-size bedrooms with built-in robes and ceiling fans are serviced by a central bathroom that includes a walk-in shower and quality tapware.
A stand-alone studio/office at the back of the home could double as a teenage retreat or third bedroom.
The studio includes the ultimate work-from-home/business set-up with a hard-wire connection to a professionally installed business internet system that includes a UPS (uninterrupted power supply) and a computer rack in a spacious ceiling storage area accessed by an attic ladder.
The large laundry has plenty of bench space, a linen press, under-bench storage and a second toilet.
Other highlights include original Baltic pine floors, leadlight windows, easy-care front garden, split-system units and timber and roller blinds.
The property is walking distance to Sparrow Park and Bakers Reserve, supermarkets and cafes on Shannon Ave and Pakington St, and Manifold Heights and Holy Spirit primary schools.
It’s also within easy reach of Sacred Heart College, St Joseph’s College, Clonard College and The Geelong College, Geelong train station, the CBD, waterfront and the Princes Freeway and Ring Road to Melbourne.
