This immaculately maintained Californian bungalow, with five bedrooms and three living areas, offers a perfect opportunity to create your ultimate family home. In one of Geelong's most sought-after suburbs, the property has been in the same family for 60 years and spreads its wings down an enormous 983 sqm (approx.) block with a four-car garage and established gardens.

The front of the home has previously been used as a medical practice and is still set up that way, providing scope to modify it for other business opportunities (STCA) or as a dedicated home office. The front of the substantial home boasts an range of period features, including double entrance doors, leadlight windows, high ceilings, picture rails and a striking timber mantelpiece. The central living hub features an extra-large, L-shaped lounge room, bathed in light from floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as a separate dining room. The adjoining kitchen includes a Miele dishwasher and Ilve free-standing oven/cooktop, plus banks of storage and cupboard space.

The north-facing front lounge room with bay window provides a perfect area for quiet time or to retire on formal occasions. A second side entry point with its own spacious entrance hall connects a rear living zone incorporating a lounge and two bedrooms, both with built-in desks, making it ideal as a teenage retreat. Four of the home's five bedrooms feature built-in robes and the two bathrooms have walk-in showers.
