Retaining stunning period detail, whilst seamlessly integrating modern comforts, this magnificent Victorian home offers spacious family living on an exceptional 667m2 (approx.) allotment. Superbly situated just steps away from all the cafes, restaurants, shopping and amenities of iconic Pakington Street, within walking distance of the city, Waterfront and Geelong Station, Ashby and St Patrick’s Primary Schools, and 5 minutes (approx.) from Newtown’s private school precinct, this address promises a lifestyle few locations can match.
The double fronted Victorian façade and lacework veranda offer an enchanting introduction to the residence. Inside, original features include soaring high ceilings, ornate cornice, ceiling roses, magnificent marble fireplaces, and stained glass detail. Hydronic heating throughout caters for modern comfort. From the entry, the main bedroom features walk-in robes and direct access to the two-way bathroom with spa bath, separate shower, modern vanity, and a skylight bathing the space in natural light. Three further bedrooms are generous in size, two include built-in robes.
A formal lounge in the original section of the home offers an ambient space to retreat or entertain. The rear of the home transitions to a light-filled conservatory-style living and dining area, with a woodfire heater and picturesque garden outlook. The adjoining kitchen retains an original cast iron stove as a feature-piece, accompanied by modern appliances including 600mm freestanding oven and cooktop, dishwasher, split system heating and cooling, and the original scullery serves as a walk-in pantry providing generous storage. The rear laundry adjoins a second bathroom, allowing excellent functionality for family living.
Heading outside, a paved entertaining area overlooks the lush backyard, bordered by magnificent established trees, creating a private and tranquil environment. The large block allows plenty of space for the kids or pets to play in a secure setting, with a garden shed for outdoor storage. A double carport plus additional driveway space accommodates ample off street parking.
Beautifully presented for comfortable living now, the large allotment offers further potential for enhancement, with the opportunity to expand and add value (STCA). A rare opportunity in one of Geelong’s most sought-after pockets, don’t miss your chance to secure this prestigious property.
