Lovingly maintained and preserved throughout, the original fittings, features and character of the home have endured its lifetime and create an enchanting ambience within.
The entrance is spacious and features a striking staircase that showcases the Art Deco curves and clean lines of its era, creating an alluring welcome into the home. A large living room off the entrance is an impressive space to entertain or relax overlooking the gardens, with a separate dining space also off the entrance completing the formal rooms at the front of the house. A galley kitchen includes the original joinery and maintains the authenticity of the home’s character.
Upstairs, three bedrooms are spacious and light, with two including built in robes. The bedrooms on the northern side of the home include spectacular views across Geelong to the bay. A central bathroom on this level is generous in size.
Outdoors the stunning gardens are lush and colourful having been lovingly curated over several decades.
