Perched high to capture panoramic views across Geelong and beyond, this home designed by architect Frederick Neville Reeve for his own family who resided there for 48 years, with resort-style swimming pool presents a rare opportunity in a premium pocket of Highton. Accessed via a bridge, the one-of-a-kind home on 732sqm (approx.) offers multiple living spaces and expanses of windows to ensure the views take centre stage. With Japanese-inspired décor, the upper-level living hub boasts a substantial lounge, dining and kitchen zone looking out to the bay, river, GMHBA Stadium and the hills. The home is move-in ready for comfortable living but also offers scope to add your creative retro touch to take advantage of its unique set-up. The kitchen features quality appliances and all-white cabinetry, while the living area boasts exposed beams, timber cabinetry, a projector with movie screen and feature rocks. The master bedroom, also positioned to look across Geelong, includes a built-in dressing table and robes and central bathroom access with two-way shower. Two further upstairs bedrooms with robes and built in dressing tables feature Japanese-style sliding screen doors. Take the spiral staircase down to a self-contained retreat with treetop views, open-plan lounge room, meals area, kitchenette and bedroom with ensuite. Private entry makes the lower level ideal for guests, teens, short-stay rentals or a home business. Step out from the bedroom to a paved alfresco space and path to the large pool with sun deck and spa room with shower. Other highlights include remote-access double garage with workshop area, driveway parking for extra cars, separate laundry, split-system inverter heating/cooling, security shutters and landscaped gardens. The home is walking distance to Montpellier Primary School, zoned to sought-after Belmont High and convenient to private schools in Newtown. Shop locally at Highton Village or take an easy drive to Waurn Ponds shopping centre. The property is close to Balyang Sanctuary, Queens Park golf and recreation reserves and within easy reach of Deakin University and Epworth Hospital.
