Perched high on prestigious Newtown Hill, this circa-1854 Victorian Gothic villa is one of Geelong’s earliest surviving homes—rich in history, architectural beauty, and future potential.
Behind a charming white picket fence and established landscaped garden, the home delivers privacy, presence, and an immediate sense of arrival. Signature gothic elements—steeply pitched rooflines, decorative timber fretwork, and soaring ceilings—blend seamlessly with thoughtful modern updates.
Upstairs, two bedrooms are complemented by a second living zone, where elevated windows frame sweeping city and bay views. The spacious master suite features a striking contemporary ensuite, complete with timber-top vanity and a sleek, glass-framed shower.
Downstairs, the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed kitchen and dining space, featuring bespoke cabinetry, island bench, twin Belfast sink, and premium appliances including a French Rosieres double-oven range. A second living area and stylish family bathroom—with freestanding soaker tub and cast iron fireplace—enhance everyday comfort.
Outdoors, a private paved alfresco area sits beneath established greenery, creating a tranquil setting for entertaining or relaxation with rear lane access.
Adding significant value and flexibility, the original timber stables at the rear offer a rare opportunity for restoration, with council-approved plans and permits already in place.
Additional features of the home include hydronic heating throughout, ensuring consistent warmth and comfort, along with air-conditioning upstairs for year-round climate control. Plantation shutters add a timeless elegance, while polished timber floors and exposed brick chimneys enhance the home’s character and charm.
The property has been comprehensively updated with rewiring, replumbing, and restumping completed, offering peace of mind for years to come. Further adding to its practicality is rear lane access, providing off-street parking for two to three cars.
Positioned moments from elite schools, Pakington Street, Geelong Station, the CBD, Deakin University and the waterfront, this is a home that delivers both lifestyle and legacy.
A rare piece of Geelong’s history—beautifully evolved for modern living.
