With rear access via Sydney Avenue, this beautiful historic three-bedroom home features a newly constructed oversized garage with a striking Geelong red brick façade and direct courtyard access. Positioned above the garage is a modern, self-contained studio apartment (approximately two years old), complete with a kitchenette, open-plan living and sleeping zone, and a separate bathroom. With quality inclusions such as double glazing, excellent insulation, a ceiling fan, and underfloor heating in the bathroom, this space presents an ideal opportunity for additional income.
Brimming with character and beautifully preserved charm, the home sits proudly between Sydney Avenue and Ryrie Street, offering a rare blend of timeless appeal and modern functionality. Solid brick construction and a striking slate-tiled roof set the tone, while a welcoming hallway with a coffered ceiling leads to elegant formal lounge and dining rooms. Here, high ceilings, a central gas fireplace, ceiling fans, and original bay windows create a warm and inviting atmosphere filled with natural light, with generous proportions enhancing the sense of space throughout.
At the rear, the kitchen is well-appointed with a skylight, engineered NSW spotted gum flooring, feature glass roof, and its own gas heating. A rear door opens onto a private deck and courtyard-an inviting space to relax or entertain.
The home offers three bedrooms, each with its own character. The front bedroom features an ornamental fireplace and shutters, while the second includes built-in robes and a stained glass window. The third bedroom is fitted with a split system and a modern ensuite with underfloor heating, full tiling, and skylight. The main bathroom includes a timber vanity, skylight, and floor-to-ceiling tiling. New carpets run throughout, with original timber floorboards preserved beneath. Additional features include a European laundry, gas hot water, and a water tank servicing the garden.
Positioned in the heart of Geelong, the property is just moments from the CBD, waterfront, hospitals, botanical gardens, schools, train stations, Garden Street cafés, and key lifestyle amenities-making it a compelling opportunity for both lifestyle buyers and those seeking long-term investment potential.
