In a convenient central location, this original home on a large block represents an exciting opportunity for the savvy buyer. There are quaint features throughout including timber and pressed tin lined ceilings, vintage patterned carpets, original cabinetry and stained glass windows. Situated opposite public transport options, and just a short stroll to Kardinia Park or La Trobe Terrace, its position is advantageous to those seeking a Geelong city lifestyle or wanting the best of both worlds with an easy commute to Melbourne.
The large allotment allows for vehicle access to either side of the residence. The rear yard is spacious; it's mostly lawn with several established trees. There is also basic shedding and an overgrown fernery which could be easily removed to establish a second dwelling or extend the original (STCA).
A concrete verandah with timber arches adorns the home's facade, and entrance is via a wide hallway with soaring ceilings and in-built storage. Bedrooms to the front of the home are carpeted, have vintage drapes, and one has an air conditioner which services the entire home. The third bedroom has a couple of single built-in robes. Located to capitalise on its north-facing orientation, the primary living room has timber-lined ceilings and a cosy gas heater centrepiece. At the home's rear, the dining room, kitchen and bathroom are reminiscent of a bygone era with original fittings, fixtures and an eclectic colour scheme. An undercover outdoor room with wood fire is a private space to sit back and relax and acts as a second living space.
This well-located large allotment could be the extraordinary renovation/development opportunity you've been waiting for. Call Fletchers today!
