Enjoy the lifestyle benefits of an inner-city address in this classy Edwardian home that seamlessly blends heritage charm with space for contemporary family living.
Set in a tree-lined street, the circa 1910 home is on the doorstep of Geelong’s medical precinct, CBD shops and offices, the Botanic Gardens and waterfront.
The original, impeccably maintained front section of the home boasts a wide hallway, four bedrooms, including master with recently updated luxe ensuite and walk-in robe, plus central family-size quality bathroom.
Plentiful character features include fretwork, fireplaces, high ceilings, dado rails, ceiling roses and solid timber floors.
The home’s centrepiece is the stunning, north-facing rear extension, housing a huge family room, dining space and chef’s kitchen.
The light-filled, family-friendly zone steps out through bi-fold doors to a wide timber deck overlooking a private rear garden with abundant greenery designed as an entertainer’s paradise.
The living room, with space for multiple sofas, boasts unique frameless corner windows to welcome extra light all year round together with a large gas log fireplace to ward off the winter chill.
The chef’s kitchen features high-end appliances, including a 900mm-wide self-cleaning oven, six-burner gas hotplates and new dishwasher, plus island bench with stone tops, breakfast bar and abundant storage options.
The kitchen conveniently overlooks the meals area with space for a full-size dining suite for family and guest get-togethers.
A nearby sleek, spacious study with built-in desks and storage, making it ideal for working from home.
The roomy laundry has loads of storage and bench space, and with direct access from the backyard, is a perfect mud room.
Other highlights include ducted heating, split-system unit, plantation shutters and quality carpets in the bedrooms, ceiling fans, garden water tanks, solar power, front parking for two cars with separate house entry, plus garage/workshop space with parking for two more cars accessed from Fowlers Lane at the rear via a 5.5m electronic gate.
The garage, with insulated walls and ceiling, could double as a teen retreat or private man cave.
A paved parking area, also accessed from the rear, can house a trailer, boat or camper trailer. The property, zoned to South Geelong Primary School, is walking distance to CBD, University Hospital, East Geelong shopping village, football, netball and cricket at Richmond Oval and South Geelong railway station.
