'Bell & Sons' stands proudly as a piece of Geelong's architectural history, rich in story and marked by striking period detail. Built circa 1860 and originally operating as a local bakery, this heritage building presents a rare opportunity to secure a landmark property that can evolve as either a distinctive residence or a compelling commercial address (STCA).
Its captivating façade makes an immediate impression, defined by authentic character and a commanding streetscape presence. Inside, soaring ceilings and original floorboards create a sense of scale and atmosphere, honouring the craftsmanship of a bygone era. A generous main living room provides an inviting space for both everyday living and entertaining, while a second sitting room offers flexibility as a home office or additional lounge.
The kitchen and dining area is functional and understated, appointed with a Gasland electric cooktop and anchored by a striking red brick feature wall - a subtle nod to the building's origins. Two well-proportioned bedrooms are serviced by a central bathroom, ensuring comfortable accommodation. A split-system air conditioner provides year-round climate control.
Outdoors, a traditional verandah captures the morning light, perfect for enjoying a coffee or simply soaking up the sunshine. It leads to an undercover laundry and second bathroom for added convenience. The expansive rear yard further enhances the property, offering scope to extend the existing footprint (STCA) or reimagine the landscaping as a private urban retreat.
Superbly positioned within walking distance of the CBD, South Geelong Train Station and GMHBA Stadium, and moments from the Garden Street shopping and café precinct, the location underscores both lifestyle convenience and commercial potential.
Potential rent return at the range of $650 per week.
