Offering a rare sense of space and tranquillity without sacrificing everyday convenience, this substantial residence is set within approximately five acres of established semi-rural surrounds. Moments to Deakin University and just minutes from Waurn Ponds’ major amenities, the property presents an appealing lifestyle for those seeking the atmosphere of country living within easy reach of the city.
The upper ground floor opens to a welcoming entry, with a powder room positioned nearby for convenience. To one side, the well-equipped electric kitchen features a dishwasher and generous storage, adjoining a spacious meals area that forms the everyday heart of the home. A separate study and laundry complete this practical wing. The floorplan then flows through to the dining area and a selection of formal and informal living spaces, including a generous family room and separate lounge. An open fireplace brings warmth and character, while ducted heating and cooling provide year-round comfort. Sliding doors extend the living zone onto a broad balcony, creating an inviting setting from which to enjoy the peaceful outlook.
The accommodation wing comprises the main bedroom with built-in robes and a private ensuite, alongside two further robed bedrooms serviced by the central bathroom. A spiral staircase connects the upper level to the lower ground floor, where an expansive rumpus room provides excellent flexibility as a games room, retreat or additional entertaining space. Extensive under-house storage further enhances the home’s functionality.
Beyond the residence, gardens frame the home and create a private setting for relaxed outdoor living, complemented by an in-ground swimming pool (currently empty). The approximately two-hectare holding also incorporates two paddocks, established orchard areas, vegetable gardens, a double garage and a substantial shed ideal for machinery, vehicles, hobbies or workshop use. Sealed road frontage, mains water and reticulated garden watering add further practicality to this impressive acreage property.
Despite its peaceful rural character, the address remains remarkably well connected. Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre, Deakin University and Epworth Hospital are approximately five minutes away, while Ring Road access can be reached in around two minutes for convenient travel towards Melbourne and the Surf Coast. Geelong’s CBD and Waterfront precinct are also within an easy drive, making this a unique opportunity to enjoy acreage serenity close to everything.
