Updated for modern family living, while retaining the retro charm of its original 1950s character, this solid brick home offers the chance to secure a position in one of Geelong's most established and esteemed locations.
Surrounded on four sides by elegant manicured gardens, this comfortable three bedroom home is set on a generous 924 square metres of prime land in the leafy hills of Highton.
Just a short walk to the bustling cafe and shopping precinct, nearby Highton and Montpellier Primary Schools, and the social and sporting heart of the community - the Highton Recreation Reserve, home of the beloved Geelong Falcons Football Club, bowling green, tennis courts and playground.
The Barwon River with its extensive walking/cycling tracks is less than three kilometres away, while the Geelong CBD, Deakin University and the Ring Road are also conveniently close.
Inside, the home is light and spacious with open plan living, dining and kitchen with cosy gas log fire. Large windows take in the morning sun and lovely views of the front garden.
Updated wooden flooring and a neutral colour palette compliments the home's charming original elements, including the lovely ornate ceiling cornice.
The modernised kitchen features a large stone bench top, ample cupboards and walk-in pantry plus dishwasher, gas cook top and electric oven. The dining area looks out to the westerly backyard with glass sliding doors leading to a paved and private patio surrounded by beautiful old trees, perfect for entertaining inside or out, all year round.
The kitchen connects to a second sunken living room through a convenient servery. A cosy combustion wood fire, feature wooden stairs and new carpet make this an attractive and versatile space.
Three large bedrooms, including master and second with built-in-robes, surround a modern family bathroom with inviting deep spa bath, oversized shower and vanity.
Outside, in the backyard, the 'wow' factor of this property really comes to the fore. Beautifully manicured terraced gardens with automated watering system, custom built outdoor seating and an indulgent electric six-person outdoor spa make this yard a private oasis.
There's a cubby house, plenty of lawn and space for kids to play; while under-house storage abounds with a tidy work shop, home office, shelving and single car garage. Be ready to be surprised by all this property has to offer.
