Last Listing description (July 2024)

An upper-storey retreat with a north-facing balcony and views stretching across Geelong is a star attraction of this stunning renovated character home within easy reach of the best of Geelong West. The miner's cottage, transported from Ballarat in the 1890s, has been thoughtfully and meticulously transformed for 21st century living on a sought-after wide street.

It's an easy stroll to Pako cafes and shops, the Pakington Strand supermarket, Ashby Primary School and popular Sparrow Park.
The home's front section, with three bedrooms, pays homage to its origins, highlighted by original floorboards, leadlight, high ceilings and feature fireplaces.

It flows through to a spacious contemporary living, dining and kitchen zone, then steps out to an alfresco terrace and private garden, an oasis of green shaded by a grand mulberry tree that's laden with fruit in summer.

The designer kitchen boasts a one-of-a-kind workman's bench, stone countertops, Fisher & Paykel appliances, glass splashback, tapware from London, banks of soft-close drawers and a walk-in butler's pantry with barn door, benches and sink. It conveniently looks across the living area, with space for full-size dining and lounge suites.
Polished concrete flooring, exposed steel framework and ducted heating/cooling and copper piping add an industrial aesthetic to the living zone's design. Take a circular staircase to the light-filled upstairs retreat featuring a living area, long custom-made desk and bespoke bookshelves, a perfect work-from-home space.
But don't be surprised if you're distracted by the outlook from the long picture windows and sunny balcony offering views to the You Yangs and a dream area to relax with a coffee or book.

A three-car garage, accessed from a rear lane, features dual roller doors and a barn door to the yard and provides room for vehicles, a workshop and even scope for a man-cave or rumpus room. The bedroom zone is positioned away from the living hub, with the two front bedrooms enjoying a northern aspect. The master bedroom suite, with a raked ceiling and exposed beams, includes a walk-in robe and quality ensuite with walk-in shower, while the central bathroom has a soaker tub with shower, timber vanity and a wide mirror for family needs.

The roof of the home's second storey has also been designed to accommodate a third level (STCA), should you wish to take in more views, including the bay. Other highlights include an upstairs split-system unit plus a trap door to help move furniture, spacious laundry with bench and storage, north-facing front veranda and easy-care gardens. The property is also convenient to the waterfront, CBD, private schools, Geelong train station and the Ring Road.
