Located in the heart of East Geelong, this one of a kind, sustainable masterpiece is a throwback to a classic period where open fireplaces, soaring ceilings and attention to detail were common place. This property was originally a dairy however it has been transformed into a stunning home that embraces its history whilst benefitting from modern convenience. This house was featured in Home Beautiful a few years ago, and was on the cover - this is a great testament to the design of the house and the quality of the renovation. Upon entering the home the large foyer welcomes you, bathed in sunshine, it immediately shows off the flexibility this house offers. To the right is the double brick dairy, rustic sealed concrete floors make way to a spacious kitchen that is a chef's delight, a 900mm multi-compartment Belling oven and cooktop, timber bench tops, underbench water filter, Corian sink and Smeg dishwasher means you want for nothing here. The kitchen overlooks the dining area and cosy living space, and with a Yunca combustion wood heater it's a favourite spot during cold Winter days. The house also has central heating, although it is hardly needed. The main living area is large enough to be used as two separate spaces, with a stunning recycled parquetry floor, along with a gas log fire (with programmable thermostat), which give the room a real warmth. The study sits just off the main living space and the 3 bedrooms all sit to the side of the property with the master having access to the verandah and overlooking the beautiful garden. The bathroom features a concrete benchtop with integrated sink and raw copper tapware. If possible the outside is even more spectacular than inside, the amazing 736sqm approx. block is a rare find so close to the CBD, the undercover entertaining area at the rear of the property is an absolute delight, there is an abundance of storage, raised vegetable/garden beds, 2 water tanks, grey water unit, drip feed irrigation systems, and about 50 established fruit trees. It's your own little oasis in the heart of Geelong.The home is extremely environmentally conscious, with 2 x Solar thermal heating units, automatic roof cooling system, air transfer systems, evacuated tube solar hot water system, extensively insulated and draft proofed and all windows except for 2 are double glazed. The house has 4.2kw solar electricity installed, with the premium feed in tariff which lasts until 2024, providing the current owners with credits of $1800 a year (instead of bills), saving about $3000 a year - that's a great honeymoon rate!This home is truly unique, located only minutes to the CBD, Hospitals, train stations, cafes and schools.
