Overview

Situated at the quiet end of Minerva Road in one of Geelong’s most desirable pockets, this tastefully renovated circa 1930’s residence showcases an enviable blend of classic charm and contemporary convenience. The home's period facade and mature front garden set the tone for a welcoming and stylish interior that balances heritage details with modern functionality.

Inside, high ceilings and decorative elements enhance the spaciousness, while the recently updated stone kitchen becomes a natural focal point, complete with an island bench and quality appliances. This space flows seamlessly into the light-filled open-plan living and dining area, providing an ideal environment for everyday living and entertaining without the burden of a large maintenance footprint.

The adaptable layout offers four bedrooms, or a versatile three-bedroom plus study arrangement. The master suite impresses with ensuite facilities and built-in robes, ensuring privacy and comfort. A centrally positioned, refurbished bathroom with a freestanding bath caters well to family needs.

Outdoor living is accommodated by a private courtyard that comfortably supports social gatherings and alfresco enjoyment, striking a rare balance between outdoor space and easy upkeep. Year-round comfort is assured with ducted heating and split system cooling. Abundant storage and secure off-street parking via a carport amplify the property's practical appeal.

Families and professionals will appreciate the proximity to renowned educational institutions such as Newtown Primary, The Geelong College, and St Joseph’s College. Meanwhile, nearby shopping precincts, cafes on Pakington Street, local parks, and public transport options enrich the lifestyle convenience for residents of this sought-after neighbourhood.
