Positioned on a generous 541m² allotment within a prime pocket, regarded as the best part of Newcomb - 22 Gibbs Street presents an outstanding opportunity to renovate, restore and add value in a tightly held location where homes rarely come available. Rich in character and charm, this classic weatherboard home offers the perfect canvas for first home buyers, savvy renovators or investors looking to capitalise on its blue-chip position. Previously leased and compliant, the property is comfortably liveable as is, while offering exciting scope to enhance and maximise its potential.
Inside, you'll find original hardwood timber floors, high ceilings and a light-filled living space complete with split-system heating and cooling. The original kitchen and dining area provide plenty of room to modernise and create your dream layout, while two spacious bedrooms (one of which hosts a built-in robe) ensure comfortable accommodation.
Set on a fully fenced block, the home also features a low maintenance backyard, a single garage plus additional off-street parking. Electricals have been updated, and while the home is in original condition and will require restumping, it presents an excellent opportunity for those ready to roll up their sleeves and reap the rewards.
Ideally located close to Eastern Park, Geelong Botanical Gardens, local shops, public transport and reputable schools including Newcomb Park Primary and Newcomb Secondary College, this is a location that continues to perform. Previously returning $400 per week and currently vacant, the property is ready for inspection or immediate occupation.
