24 Crofton Street

Geelong West VIC 3218

The front half hosts original timber floors, high ceilings, a wide central hallway and four large bedrooms, three of which are carpeted. The main bedroom is a delightful retreat. It features double windows that look out on to the front garden, a walk-in robe with hanging space and shelves and an ensuite with a shower, vanity unit and heated towel rails.

The second bedroom also has a view of the front garden. Its double windows frame a beautiful cherry tree. A spacious family bathroom is close by. It includes a large shower, deep bath and a vanity unit below an expansive mirror.

As the hallway comes to an end, the heart of the home unfolds. The modern extension has created a fabulous kitchen, living and dining space that opens on to the north-facing back garden. With polished concrete floors, a neutral palette and lots of light, it is such a welcoming space.

The height of the original home's 10-foot ceilings has been continued, but the experience is enriched by two angled skylights, one over the kitchen, the other over the dining room.

Maximising natural light during the day, a bank of bi-fold glass doors opens the dining area to a vast undercover deck; and French doors open the lounge room to the pretty and private rear garden. It's an entertainer's paradise.

The well-designed kitchen will also delight the home chef. It has a deep island bench with a double sink and soft-closing drawers, a SMEG 90cm oven, dishwasher, a large pantry and an appliance cupboard that hides away the toaster and microwave.

White kitchen cabinetry, polished concrete floors, neutral-coloured walls and views of the garden greenery give this space a peaceful, relaxed feel.

Other features of this property include: ducted heating, reverse cycle air conditioning in the living-dining area, a dual-access side garage and an irrigation system.

The property is close to both the Shannon Avenue and Pakington St shopping precincts, schools including Newtown Primary School, public transport and a short drive from the Geelong Railway Station and the CBD. It is also within easy reach of the Ring Road.
