Originally a modest 1850s Miners Cottage, this charming Geelong West residence has been exquisitely reimagined into a flawless showcase of contemporary style. Every element has been thoughtfully curated, resulting in magazine-worthy interiors that are both luxurious and effortlessly functional.
Step inside to discover high square-set ceilings and intricate parquetry floors that flow seamlessly through the open-plan living domain, providing a sophisticated backdrop for modern living. Bathed in natural light from expansive north-facing windows, the space radiates warmth and style. A freestanding Escea gas-log fireplace and chic tiled cabinetry anchor the living zone, offering cosy comfort during the cooler months. It opens out to a sun-drenched alfresco deck framed by landscaped gardens and a lush grassy area, ideal for relaxed entertaining. The stunning kitchen makes a stylish statement, featuring forest-green cabinetry accented by brass handles, natural marble bench tops incorporating a functional breakfast bar and premium integrated appliances.
Accommodation includes two beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with built-in robes and lush wool carpet underfoot. The central bathroom exudes style, showcasing floor-to-ceiling kit-kat tiles, an open shower and stone benchtops. A dedicated home office completes the picture with custom desks for both sitting and standing, along with an abundance of built-in storage.
Positioned for a cosmopolitan lifestyle, this home is just moments from Geelong West's Pakington Street and Shannon Avenue, renowned for their restaurants, bars and boutique shopping.
