Overflowing with rich heritage features, this classic period home is exceptionally positioned in the heart of Geelong West, mere footsteps from the thriving Shannon Avenue and Pakington Street precincts.
Set behind an iconic picket fence with neat cottage gardens and established roses, the quaint facade delivers charming street appeal. The front veranda is adorned with fretwork and colourful leadlight windows, whilst soaring ceilings, original timber floorboards and decorative ceiling roses enrich the timeless interiors. Original woodwork and 1956 Olympic brickwork in the front path round off an already extravagant and character filled home.
An original fireplace set within striking brickwork elevates the front living room, creating a cosy environment to relax and unwind. The combined kitchen/dining zone has been updated with a sleek kitchen that boasts stone benchtops, stainless steel appliances (900mm freestanding oven, 5-burner cooktop, Omega dishwasher) and a built-in pantry.
A modern bathroom services three great-sized bedrooms (one with BIRs), while a freestanding laundry room completes the floorplan. Ducted heating and a split-system air conditioner provide year-round climatic comfort.
The north-facing yard currently incorporates an undercover alfresco area and a single lock-up garage at the end of a long driveway, offering scope to extend the home's footprint (STCA) and capitalize on this highly sought-after location.
Superbly positioned just a short walk to Shannon Avenue and Pakington Street cafes, restaurants and boutiques. Your morning coffee awaits from Funk Cafe, or enjoy a leisurely weekend brunch at Mano Deli. Walking distance to Ashby Primary School (zoned), while Geelong's coveted secondary school zone is within easy reach. Excellent access to public transport and close proximity to Geelong Train Station. Approximately 10 minutes from the CBD and picturesque Waterfront.
