The view will catch you first while the house itself holds your attention. A central hallway draws the eye through polished hardwood floors, timber fretwork and sash windows, introducing a residence whose period charm is matched by the confidence of a quality build. Set across 937sqm in a quiet no-through court, the home unfolds over multiple levels, each giving family life a distinct place to settle.
From the entry, three generous bedrooms sit alongside the family bathroom and laundry, while internal access connects directly with the oversized double garage. A few steps down, the floorplan opens into the main living domain, where the renovated kitchen, dining area and living room form the home's natural gathering point. Old Geelong red brick brings depth and history to the upgraded kitchen, balanced by crisp cabinetry and Caesarstone benchtops. Dual Electrolux ovens, an induction cooktop, Miele dishwasher, butler's sink and walk-in pantry give the space serious capability. Nearby, the gas log fire anchors the living room, while bay windows keep the garden in view.
Sliding doors lead out to the alfresco deck, where the electric awning can be drawn for long lunches in the shade or retracted to welcome the sun. The adjoining paved patio offers another place to sit outdoors, surrounded by immaculate gardens that have been shaped over years of careful attention. Established planting creates privacy, while the lawn leaves children and pets free to play.
Beyond the garden, the powered studio and workshop offer rare versatility. Custom cabinetry and roller access make it equally suited to creative work, wellness pursuits, serious tinkering or secure equipment storage. The heightened double garage also opens through to the rear, adding practical access for a boat, trailer or caravan.
The upper level provides the final reveal. Reserved for the main suite, it includes a spacious bedroom, ensuite, walk-in robe, private lounge and two balconies. From here, the outlook begins across the Otways, sweeps through Ceres and reaches Mount Buninyong on a clear day. Sherbet sunsets colour the evening, with New Year's Eve bringing its own annual spectacle of fireworks across the distance.
The Rail Trail, established walking tracks, Gateway Plaza and local eateries are all close by, while Geelong and the coast are around ten minutes from home. A welcome only a true home can give.
