Overview
Crowning the crest of Yarra Street with two street frontages and commanding views across the city, this property is among Geelong's most recognisable Victorian properties. It is a distinguished double-storey brick residence that has recently been used as professional offices. Despite this, the home's structure, scale, and inherent character are unmistakably those of a grand family home, poised and ready for its next chapter.
The property dates back to circa 1890 and is steeped in history and architectural significance. It sits on a wide central hallway leading to substantial and generously sized rooms across both levels. These spaces demonstrate a solid Victorian character with ornate decorative features and traditional craftsmanship that evokes the grandeur typical of this era.
Throughout, there are touches of the original brickwork, carefully restored or preserved, that add texture and warmth. The space also offers a combination of formal and informal areas suitable for a variety of modern lifestyles. Whether you desire to maintain the existing layout or undertake renovations, the flexibility of the floorplan is a significant asset.
Additional property features include solid timber floors, decorative ceilings, elaborate plasterwork, and leadlight windows that complement a home of such vintage distinction. The residence includes multiple bedrooms, a kitchen designed for functionality, and living areas that flow naturally, encouraging both family interaction and private relaxation.
The outdoor areas, though not expansively documented in measurements here, are typical of a Victorian-style home with potential garden beds, entertaining spaces, and modern additions sympathetic to the heritage aesthetic. The location is highly appealing too, situated within close proximity to Geelong’s central business district, schools, parks, cafes, and other local amenities, making it a highly desirable family home or investment.
Ultimately, the property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Geelong’s architectural and community heritage, blending historic charm with the potential for contemporary living. It is suited to buyers who value character, space, and a prominent location reflecting prestige and lasting appeal.
