Surveying a streetscape of palms and mature tree tops, this period brick home in almost original condition is prime for rejuvenation.
Set on the high side of one of Geelong’s most prestigious streets on Newtown Hill, it marks an era of prestige that it once shared with notable neighbours.
Wander upwards from the street on a curving crazy stone path to a sweeping garden patio. Looks may have faded but you will still be struck by the home’s enormous potential.
Elevated and built in contrasting red and cream brick, it opens to a large foyer which is the hub of the house with connections to almost every room.
Two bedrooms, both with BIRs and the master with brick fireplace and timber mantel, share a central family bathroom of toilet, bath and vanity.
The living room windows capture big views of the front garden. It connects to a large formal dining room with generous windows and an outlook to the bluestone-tiered yard across the back.
The kitchen reflects the time-capsule feel of the home with a wall of timber cupboards, a gas stove set into the original fireplace and a pane-glass window looking into a built-in rear verandah.
Also from the foyer, another door opens to a ships ladder set in the floor that reaches down to a generous concrete-floored ground level room, adjoining workshop and windows and glass doors to the outside garden.
The home has a single-car garage off Noble Street and is perfectly positioned with the river-end of Pakington Street and Chilwell Primary school a few doors away. Prestige secondary schools are a short walk up the hill. Beautiful Bareena Bowling Club is across the road and nearby Kardinia Park, has easy access to the Ring Road, Geelong Railway Station and South Geelong Railway Station.
