Showcasing beautifully preserved original features, whilst incorporating open plan living for the modern lifestyle, this unique property offers easy living in the picturesque surrounds of the leafy East. Superbly positioned within walking distance of local cafes, the Garden Street shopping precinct, local parks, South Geelong Station, and only 5 minutes (approx.) from the CBD, medical precinct, Eastern Gardens and Waterfront, this location offers peaceful tree-lined living, just moments from all the best attractions and events of the city.
Built in 1897, the façade blends authentic Victorian character with art nouveau embellishments to create an exquisite appeal on arrival. Stepping inside, original features include high ceilings, polished timber floors, ornate fretwork, dado walls, original fireplaces, plate rails and picture rails, retaining the stunning detail of its original era.
The original section of the home includes three spacious bedrooms, two with built-in robes, and a fourth room offers a versatile space that can be used as a bedroom or formal lounge. The tastefully presented bathroom features a timber vanity, bath, separate shower and skylight for excellent natural light.
The rear of the home transitions into a modern open plan layout, maintaining the high ceilings to offer a sense of light and space. The classic kitchen features quality timber cabinetry, Fisher and Paykel stainless steel oven and gas cooktop, dishwasher, raised breakfast bar, ample storage and bench space, and is well positioned for entertaining indoors and out. Central heating plus split system heating and cooling take care of your creature comforts all year round.
Beautiful French doors open up from the living area to the rear verandah which overlooks a paved entertaining area with cantilever umbrella, allowing you to enjoy protection from the elements whilst enjoying the outdoor space. A secure lawn area bordered by established trees provides a tranquil space to relax, or for the kids and pets to play. Excellent rear access to a double garage accommodates secure off street parking as well as secure and convenient entry to the property.
Unique in design and beautifully maintained, this is the perfect home for those who value character, style, location and lifestyle.
