While the timeless gabled façade and established landscaping offer an inviting first impression, it’s the thoughtful blend of period elegance and everyday liveability found within this beautifully updated home that will truly win you over.
Set within a tightly-held pocket of East Geelong, the hard work has already been done here, delivering a refined family environment that’s perfectly attuned to modern living.
A traditional post-war weatherboard spread generously over two storeys, the home unfolds across four bedrooms and three living areas, with hardwood floors, leadlight windows and decorative ceiling roses speaking to the home's heritage.
A formal living room sets the tone with 10ft ceilings, a period cast iron fireplace and custom cabinetry, providing a wonderfully characterful space that also lends itself to a fifth bedroom or home office, should the need arise.
Form and function are delivered in equal measure in the updated open-plan kitchen, the true heart of the home. Here, a Bosch four-burner cooktop and oven, LG dishwasher, and a huge island bench with ample storage make everyday entertaining effortless.
Adjacent, a second living space offers a cosy spot to unwind, complete with a freestanding wood fire for cool-season comfort, while the dining area opens directly onto an undercover alfresco deck, ideal for those who love to entertain outdoors.
Two spacious bedrooms, both with built-in robes and plantation shutters, offer comfortable, character-filled retreats, complemented on this level by a central bathroom, separate WC, and an updated laundry.
Ascend the hardwood staircase to discover a bright third living area with French doors opening to a private balcony, providing a haven for kids and teens alongside two further bedrooms serviced by a shared walk-in robe and a two-way bathroom.
Outside, fully landscaped front and back gardens frame a grassy rear lawn made for kids and pets alike, while an oversized single garage offers handy attic storage and rear access to Barkly Street for added convenience. Split system heating and cooling ensures comfort right through the seasons.
Enjoy a richly rewarding inner-city lifestyle, just a short stroll from the South Geelong train station, the Botanical Gardens and Geelong’s picturesque waterfront, with the cafes and boutiques of Garden Street and East Geelong village, Tate Street Primary School, and Richmond Oval all within easy walking distance.
