Position your family to reap the lifestyle benefits of a coveted bayside address in this elegant and spacious home in exclusive Drumcondra. Set on a corner block, the double-storey home is a relaxed stroll to the waterfront, bayside tracks, Rippleside Park, Balmoral Quay marina, North Geelong train station and the city centre. With multiple living spaces, indoors and out, a separate study and three generous bedrooms, with the option of a fourth or even fifth, it's designed for easy family living and entertaining. The centrepiece is an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space that steps out through a wall of concertina doors to a sunny alfresco terrace. The chef's kitchen boasts a butler's pantry, walk-in pantry, 900mm-wide Euromaid wall oven and gas cooktop, integrated Siemens dishwasher and stone benchtops. It looks across a 6m-long (approx.) dining area with abundant room for large family or guest gatherings. The huge family room includes a gas log fire and substantial space for sofas, a TV area, for kids to play and even a piano. Two bedrooms and a study are positioned in the home's front section, allowing family members to find their own space or privacy to work from home. They share a family bathroom with bath, shower and separate powder room. A north-facing front lounge with wood-burning fire is ideal for more formal get-togethers or could double as an extra bedroom. Upstairs, a large picture window with treetop views and water glimpses to the north headlines the master bedroom suite, which occupies the top floor. It features banks of built-in robes/storage, a designer ensuite with deep soaker tub and frameless shower, plus a retreat/office that provides potential as another bedroom. Other highlights include gleaming brushbox timber floors, leadlight and timber fretwork character features, integrated speaker system, ducted heating, split-system units, open-air rumpus room/home gym area, solar panels, over-size garage with workshop space and striking established gardens. The home is within easy reach of the medical precinct, eateries along the waterfront and Pakington St, top private schools, Deakin University, city offices, and the highway to Melbourne.
