On the doorstep of Geelong’s most popular shopping and dining strip, this Victorian home is all about character and convenience. It’s so quiet and peaceful in the light, bright and spacious property, it’s hard to believe you’re just a few minutes’ walk from the hustle and bustle of Pakington St. Boasting two street frontages and an open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, the home oozes character with pressed metal ceilings, original fireplaces, Baltic pine flooring and high ceilings with ornate cornices. The three bedrooms are all a generous size, with two having built-in robes and the main a walk-in robe and ensuite with spa bath. A gas log heater in the living area is ideal for cold nights, while French doors open out to a paved outdoor area to enjoy the warmer weather. The adjoining full-size dining room includes the option of casual eating at the breakfast bar of the kitchen, which has loads of storage and bench space, stainless-steel appliances and a pantry. A heritage-style, spacious main bathroom includes a claw-foot bath and separate shower – all bathed in light from a stunning leadlight window. The low-maintenance backyard is ideal for entertaining and includes a single garage accessible from Lupton St at the rear. Other features include a large laundry with plenty of storage space, central heating, split-system unit, plantation shutters and new carpets. The property is in the neighbourhood of highly regarded schools such as Ashby Primary, Geelong Lutheran College, Sacred Heart College, St Joseph’s College and The Geelong College, within walking distance of the waterfront, CBD, Geelong train station and The Gordon TAFE and a short drive the Princes Freeway and Ring Road to Melbourne.
