Situated in one of Geelong's most exclusive bayside pockets, this gorgeous period home caters to one of the best family lifestyles this city has to offer!
Placed less than 500m (approx.) to the tranquil Corio Bay, and connected to the trendy Waterfront Precinct and CBD by bike paths, this home enjoys premier access to this slice of the coast! But the other benefits of this address are many! Pakington St is within a stone's throw, bus stops to Geelong's private Colleges are nearby, and commuters have easy access to the train, bike paths, and Melbourne Rd to get where they need to be. Surrounded by other period homes, this stately 'Spanish Mission' residence is right at home in leafy Grandview Grove. Beautifully maintained over the years, this decorative double-brick has been built to last. Plus, with ample space to the front and rear garden, there's plenty of potential for a sizeable extension (STCA).
Refreshed interiors give this home a new lease on life while retaining desirable period features that include decorative timber panelling and plasterwork, and lead-light windows.
The expanded floorplan provides 2 living zones and an outdoor entertaining area, catering to the modern family. Wall-to-wall glazing draws natural light into the living area, with a sliding door connecting it to the paved outdoor entertaining area and low-maintenance back garden- allowing the kids to come and go as they please. The central kitchen places everything you need close to hand, with plenty of storage, an upright cooker, and an island bench with seating for 4-5 guests. The lounge has practical polished floorboards, making conversion to a dining room simple. Other highlights include gorgeous open-fires to lounge/dining and airy master bedroom. 3 minor bedrooms (2 with built-in robes) provide comfortably for children, with the light-filled 4th bedroom ideal for a playroom. The compact study is a great addition to the floorplan. The home is serviced by two tidy bathrooms, one with a separate toilet. Gas ducted heating and SS-AC maintain the perfect climate throughout.
The low-maintenance garden gives the kids plenty of space to kick a ball, with the vast Rippleside Park just around the corner when needed. The double tandem lock-up garage and driveway provide off street parking- add a rear roller door to the garage for convenient lane access (STCA).
