Showcasing authentic Federation character, this grand period home offers an elegant step back in time, featuring beautifully preserved original detail, subtly incorporating contemporary elements throughout for modern comfort. Built in 1907 and designed by renowned architects Laird and Barlow, the home has been lovingly maintained by its current family for over 80 years and is now ready for its next custodian to take over a new chapter. Set on an expansive 1,020m² (approx.) allotment with excellent rear lane access, surrounded by local cafés and restaurants, within walking distance of both River End and Geelong West Pakington Street strips, Newtown's private schools, Geelong Station, and minutes from the CBD, Waterfront and GMHBA Stadium, this bluechip position delivers an exceptional lifestyle. A distinctive rotunda-style verandah and stately façade introduce the period grandeur which continues within. Double doors open to a wide entry, leading into a formal lounge featuring high ceilings, stunning ornate cornice, picture rails, a beautiful bay window, and an original fireplace with brick mantel. At the heart of the home, a dining and family room provides an ambient space to retreat or entertain, with a tiled fireplace as its centrepiece, and a magnificent box bay window. A third living area offers a quiet space to escape, watch a movie, or send the kids to play. The kitchen and meals area is well-equipped with high-end modern appliances including a Bosch 600mm oven, induction cooktop, and Miele rangehood. Comprising four bedrooms, the main suite features built-in robes, an updated ensuite with walk-in shower and accessible facilities, a large north facing bay window, and direct access to an adjoining sunroom retreat. Three additional bedrooms are generous in size, all serviced by a family bathroom with a double vanity, bath, and separate shower. Equipped for modern comfort and functionality, additional features include individual split systems in all living areas and bedrooms, ceiling fans, and a 5kW solar system for energy efficiency. Outside, a large paved area allows ample space for relaxing or entertaining in the sun, and a lush lawn provides a secure space for the kids to play. Excellent rear access via an asphalt lane leads to a remote double garage with additional storeroom space, while sliding gate entry to an extra parking bay, plus double gate access to the backyard adds further functionality. A detached utility room includes laundry and storage facilities. A rare chance to secure a piece of Geelong's history, this immaculately presented home is ready to enjoy from day one. Set on a substantial landholding that offers scope to enhance, extend or subdivide (STCA), it delivers timeless character, modern comfort, and outstanding future reward in a premium lifestyle location.
