Situated within strolling distance of central Geelong, the bay, botanical gardens and a railway station, this property is positioned to please a wide range of purchasers.
Investors, owner occupiers, renovators and developers (STCA) will all be keen to view its varied assets. Even eco-friendly buyers will appreciate the lack of requirement for a vehicle and the veggie patch, let alone grand-scale recycling through refurbishing an existing home instead of building a new one.
Though a humble exterior with low-maintenance cladding fronts the street, original gables and a leadlight window foretell of period features to be found within. Beyond an enclosed porch, French doors adorn the entry.
Honey-toned polished floorboards flow beneath ten-foot ceilings decorated with intricately detailed plasterwork. Formal lounge and dining rooms are separated a by glass sliding door. Fireplaces, timber-lined walls and plate-racks have been retained, exalting in old world charm.
In the quaint kitchen, a modern gas stove sits amongst vintage cabinetry. A rear vestibule overlooking the yard has built-in cupboards plus louvre windows and could make an excellent study.
Serviced by a petite bathroom with a luxuriously deep tub, two of the three bedrooms contain built-in robes. A gas heater has been placed centrally to heat the entire home.
Fencing all around the backyard boundary encloses a concreted area for outdoor dining and a garden shed behind an original single garage. Plenty of plants including healthy hedges and hardy succulents surround the house. A neatly mown expanse of lawn makes a pleasant traditional change to the many gravel yards of today too.
With a block measuring approximately 666 square metres and nestled in a long established area near the heart of the city, this property should generate quite a commotion on auction day. Therefore, you’d better book your inspection ASAP.
