A truly rare find in Geelong's sought-after precinct, this residence retains its captivating street presence with lush greenery and the original Californian Bungalow façade. The property has been thoughtfully updated, extended, and renovated to offer a modern, highly functional, and subtly unique living space.
At the front of the home, the original formal entry and bedrooms have been thoughtfully preserved, showcasing spaciousness, leadlight windows, timber floors, and vintage fireplaces reminiscent of the era. The modernization journey begins with a fully upgraded bathroom featuring a spacious frameless walk-in shower, separate bath, double vanity, and toilet.
The kitchen is a standout feature with its grand cast concrete bench that includes a breakfast bar and concealed storage. It is equipped with a double bowl sink, dishwasher, 900mm stove, canopy Rangehood, and appliance cupboard. A generously sized butler's pantry provides an additional sink and ample storage, leading to the spacious family-sized laundry with plentiful shelving and bench space. The captivating kitchen overlooks the expansive dining and living area, featuring a powerful gas log fire, split system air-conditioning, and versatile shelving for personal items.
A simple elevation of two steps leads to the formal lounge with stained timber floors, highlight windows, and a notable centrepiece: a cedar wine room with capacity for 1,500 bottles, temperature-controlled for preservation. Upstairs, the main bedroom boasts a full ensuite, walk-in robe, and split system air-conditioning. An adjacent study or fifth bedroom offers clever storage within the roof space of the home.
Outside, a sizable entertaining area is accessible from both the living room and kitchen via a practical servery. The rear yard mirrors the property's 625sqm (approx) allotment. A rear lane enhances accessibility and offers the potential for substantial garaging (STCA). The existing shed provides ample storage. Within walking distance to North Geelong train station, bus stops, bay walking trails, and the CBD. This residence is a true one-of-a-kind, its complete narrative awaiting discovery through an in-person inspection.
