This grand Californian bungalow, showcasing a host of period features, is nestled in one of East Geelong’s most charming and sought-after pockets. The peaceful, eastern end of Kilgour Street is clearly a family hub. The wide central median strip of luxuriant plantings has been claimed as the local playground.
Double electric gates open to a deep, paved driveway. An ornate-pillared side verandah and double doors lead to a spacious entrance and central hallway with polished floors.
Every aspect of this home is on a scale that will impress the entire family. Four generous bedrooms all have carpets and BIRs. The master bedroom, set at the front of the house, captures leafy garden views through a gorgeous leadlight bay window. A neighbouring bedroom has French doors that open to a private porch.
The bedrooms are serviced by a large Victorian-style family bathroom with claw bath, replica vanity and toilet, ornate tile work and shower.
Big windows flood every room with light. The living room has split system air conditioning/heating, fireplace, wood heater and head-height timber dado paneling. An arch opens to the kitchen/dining area with marble-look benches, abundant cupboards and pantry, gas stove and dishwasher. Further heating is provided throughout the home by Nobu electric panel heaters.
A large partly-sheltered alfreso deck overlooks a north facing secure backyard with single lock-up garage. Opposite is the laundry with shower and separate toilet.
This home is close to Garden Street shopping precinct, the Botanic Gardens and has easy access to primary and secondary schools, sporting grounds and Geelong CBD.
Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy this character home, in this tightly held pocket of East Geelong.
