Period charm meets impressive modern scale in this beautifully renovated and extended residence set on approximately 651sqm in one of Geelong’s most tightly held inner-city pockets. Behind the classic façade, a thoughtful renovation has created a home that blends heritage character with expansive contemporary living, all within easy reach of the CBD, Garden Street shops, leading schools and transport for Melbourne commuters.
A traditional central hallway introduces the home, framed by soaring 11-foot ceilings and generous original proportions. Three spacious bedrooms occupy the front section, including a superb master suite complete with a large walk-through robe and a luxurious ensuite with double vanity. A stylish central bathroom services the remaining bedrooms.
At the rear of the home the floorplan opens dramatically into a light-filled contemporary living zone designed for everyday family living and entertaining. The well appointed kitchen features stone benchtops, stainless steel appliances, extensive cabinetry and a highly practical butler’s pantry, while the adjoining dining and living areas enjoy beautiful natural light and seamless flow to the outdoors.
Large sliding doors connect the living space to a covered alfresco deck, creating a true indoor-outdoor entertaining zone. Whether hosting friends or enjoying relaxed family dinners, the space is designed to be used year round.
Upstairs, an impressive retreat provides exceptional flexibility. Generous in scale and filled with natural light, this level works equally well as a teenage retreat, second living zone, studio or large home office.
The outdoor space is equally impressive. Set on approximately 651sqm, the deep rear yard offers room for children and pets to enjoy, while rear lane access leads to a substantial garage and workshop, a rare and highly valuable feature this close to the city.
Additional highlights include polished timber floors, solar electricity, ducted heating and multiple split-system air conditioners for year round comfort.
Character homes offering this level of space, land size and rear access in such a central Geelong location are increasingly difficult to find. Combining period charm with modern family functionality, this is a property that delivers both lifestyle and long-term value.
