Enduring charm, effortless family living

Rich in period character and thoughtfully reimagined for modern living, this charming double-fronted Victorian cottage presents an exceptional opportunity to secure an enduring home in one of East Geelong's most sought-after neighbourhoods. Beyond its quaint picket fence and delicate lacework verandah, the home immediately captivates with soaring ceilings, original Baltic pine floorboards and beautifully preserved period details, setting the tone for warm, inviting interiors.
