Set in one of Geelong West’s most prestigious and tightly held pockets, this magnificent Victorian residence, dating back to circa 1894, offers a blend of grand period elegance and modern resort-style living. The home is ideally located just moments from the vibrant Pakington Street precinct, the Geelong CBD, waterfront areas, and the Geelong railway station, providing convenient access for Melbourne commuters.

The property is enclosed by a striking wrought-iron fence and features a lacework veranda that immediately captures attention. Inside, soaring ceilings, intricate decorative cornices, elegant chandeliers, polished timber floors, and original fireplaces showcase the timeless character of the home. These beautifully preserved period features are complemented by a high-quality contemporary extension designed to meet the needs of modern family living while respecting the home’s rich heritage.

The flexible two-level floorplan includes five generously sized bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with multiple living zones. Upstairs, the luxurious main suite serves as a true parents’ retreat, complete with a walk-in robe, private sitting area, and spacious ensuite. An additional upstairs bedroom offers versatility as a nursery, guest room, or home office. The downstairs bedrooms are also generously proportioned, each with built-in robes and original fireplaces accented by exposed brickwork. These rooms are serviced by a beautifully appointed central bathroom featuring a freestanding bath.

At the heart of the home is a light-filled open-plan kitchen, dining, and family area that connects seamlessly to the rear yard. The designer kitchen is equipped with premium Gaggenau appliances, including an integrated oven, steam oven, combination microwave oven, and warming drawer.

The adjoining courtyard is private and well-appointed, featuring a retractable veranda shade, gas heater, and gas connection for BBQ entertaining.

Expansive windows and doors from the kitchen, dining, and living areas frame beautiful views of the landscaped backyard, reinforcing the exceptional indoor–outdoor integration. The outdoor domain is equally impressive, highlighted by a solar- and gas-heated in-ground pool and spa, both controlled via smartphone app, and framed by glass fencing and manicured surrounds.
