A distinctively unique contribution to Geelong's heritage, this four-bedroom, solid brick cottage masterfully combines Victorian detail with a homely, relaxed feel to produce an extraordinary home. Circa 1855, this residential curio has been proud home to a range of colourful owners including a tailor, a fisherman, a Shire Secretary as well as artists and members of the business and retail fraternity. Offering a spacious and flexible floorplan, it melds pressed metal ceilings, original cornices, ceiling roses and fireplaces with the comforts of any modern home. With 4 bedrooms, the upstairs bedroom has the flexibility to add an ensuite if so desired, 2 spacious lounge rooms, separate dining room, kitchen equipped with dishwasher and both combustion & stainless-steel stove/ovens and central bathroom. Outside you'll find a shady, paved outdoor entertaining area, beautiful established gardens providing a feeling of inner-city seclusion. Beyond that there is a tandem garage with built in work shop. One of the many desirable features to this home is the fantastic location, only a five minute walk to Geelong Station, Geelong Waterfront and supremely popular cafe, restaurant and Pakington Street retail strip and a mere five minutes more to Westfield Geelong, Market Square and the Geelong CBD - who needs a car?In the beginning, this historic colonial home would have witnessed many of Geelong's "firsts" and is a rare opportunity to own your own piece of Geelong's History - and future.
