Positioned on a coveted corner allotment at the junction of Gloucester Street and Carnarvon Drive, 29-31 Gloucester Street presents one of Grovedale's most versatile real estate propositions: two separately titled allotments spanning approximately 1,209sqm, with the rare advantage of dual street frontage.
Buyers may purchase the residence at 29 Gloucester Street, the established garden allotment at 31 Gloucester Street or secure both for a combined landholding of genuine rarity.
The existing three-bedroom residence reveals incredible proportions and enduring character. The formal living room is the centrepiece: a voluminous, light-filled space with a soaring vaulted ceiling, exposed dark timber beams, a grand fireplace and generous glazing that draws natural light deep into the room while framing the lush established garden beyond.
From here, steps rise to the elevated separate dining room, where the split-level design adds drama and architectural distinction to the home's open flow, with the same striking beamed ceilings continuing overhead. A dedicated lounge area and built-in bar with display cabinetry complete the social heart of the home, creating an entertainer's showpiece rarely found in homes of this era. The kitchen connects directly to the dining area, offering everyday functionality and ample pantry storage. A second living area with east-facing windows provides a quieter retreat for everyday family life, while gas ducted heating and cooling ensure year-round comfort.
Three well-proportioned bedrooms include a generous master bedroom and two further bedrooms, each with built-in robes. They are serviced by a bathroom thoughtfully arranged across three separate zones: bathtub, shower and toilet, offering genuine everyday practicality. A linen cupboard and dedicated laundry complete the functional interior, while the impressive double garage, provides exceptional vehicle accommodation with ample space for a workshop or additional storage.
At 31 Gloucester Street, the adjoining allotment is a world of its own: a magnificent, fully established garden, decades in the making, wrapping around a fenced in-ground swimming pool, spa, two ornamental ponds and pergola entertaining area. Lush, manicured lawns, towering, mature trees and vibrant seasonal plantings frame the setting, with a garden shed and clothesline completing this extraordinary outdoor sanctuary.
Whether enjoyed as a private retreat, leased separately, or developed in the future (STCA), this allotment represents a garden of a quality that simply cannot be created overnight. Ideally positioned within easy reach of quality primary and secondary schools, Grovedale Shopping Village and Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre, the location is perfectly suited to families at every stage. Waurn Ponds Station, the Ring Road and Surf Coast Highway place Melbourne and the Surf Coast within comfortable reach, while Geelong's vibrant CBD is accessible in minutes. A landholding of this scale, versatility and location simply demands attention.
