20 Swanston Street

Imagine living only 100 metres from Eastern Beach in one of Geelong's most beautiful and tightly-held bayside pockets. Perfectly snuggled between Eastern Beach Road and Malop Street, this two-storey contemporary home enjoys the best of both worlds with direct waterfront and CBD access. Both just a short walk away. With a free-flowing floorplan it's an entertainer's paradise. Step in to a leafy private courtyard and into a home that greets you with abundant architectural features, a vast timber floor and walls of windows and tall glass doors that open up the entire ground floor from street to street. Your eye will be challenged to take it all in. A living room at the front opens to a paved courtyard and the adjoining open-plan living zone features built-in cabinetry and a striking timber kitchen with a sculptural, rounded hardwood bench and breakfast bar. It features a 900mm five-burner Eurolec gas cooktop and oven, Dishlex dishwasher, pantry and convenient powder room nearby. A full wall of glass reveals a fully paved west-facing courtyard and separate bed-sit apartment with kitchen and ensuite. Upstairs, the newly-carpeted second level offers another living space or home office with built-in timber cabinetry. A bright central family bathroom services two bedrooms, both with BIRs and shared balcony with views of the city's high-rise skyline. The spacious master suite is a glorious adult refuge with twin-door walk-in robe, modern ensuite and half-moon balcony overlooking deciduous tree tops and with glimpses of Corio Bay. This residence is a rare find offering an easy lifestyle with a blend of bayside and inner city living. Architectural features set it apart with a towering central lightwell, four sets of double skylights, tall ceilings, stainless steel fittings, imaginative cabinetry and display cases, wall cut-outs and recesses. A single lock-up garage is accessible from a rear lane. It has reverse-cycle air-conditioning and ducted heating. You can walk to Deakin university, Geelong train station, the Barwon Health precinct and the Botanic Gardens.
