On offer for the first time ever, this exceptional property is filled with history, charm, character and space for all. Sprawling across 5 acres and unlike anything else on the local market, this is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity.
The home is constructed from the original bluestone from the former Geelong Advertiser building dating back to the 1850's. The salvaged bluestone has been lovingly placed together by our current owners in the 1980's - an experienced stonemason whose incredible craftsmanship and skill is on display and easy to appreciate. The wrap around verandah and established front garden welcomes you to the home, where a sense of warmth is felt instantly upon entry. A formal lounge with feature wall, fireplace and stunning timber ceilings, flows into the formal dining area. The open kitchen comprises electric cooking, dishwasher and sufficient storage, overlooking the open-plan meals area and second living space.
A well zoned floor plan is on offer, with the main bedroom sitting at the rear of the central hallway, with walk-in-robe and ensuite. A further 3 bedrooms all host built-in- robes and are serviced by the main bathroom and a separate toilet.
The entertaining spaces outside need to be seen to be truly believed and appreciated. Affectionately labelled as the 'Round Room', this expansive and unique separate building is 11.6m x 11.6m in size and equipped with a mesmerising cylindrical fireplace and wood-fired pizza oven. Your mind will run wild with ideas on how you can use this space. Many weddings, birthday parties, Christmases and everything in between have been enjoyed in this space over the decades. This area offers easy access to the 'dance floor' - an incredibly beautiful open entertaining area, with mature trees and gardens as the backdrop. A further undercover entertaining space allows for versatile indoor/outdoor entertaining.
A true labour of love by one family, over many decades and now ready for its next chapter. This is a lifestyle property, in every sense with endless potential and opportunity. Whether you're looking to enjoy as is for years to come, update and add your own personality and flair, or explore subdivision options (STCA), the possibilities are abundant. It's a property that will take your breath away and leave a lasting impression long after the open home.
