For buyers looking for a character home to renovate or extend in sought-after Geelong West, this property could be the one.

Built in 1960 and set on 660sqm, the solid brick home retains the character and charm of the era. Its features include original timber floors, two fireplaces with attractive mantlepieces, wall sconces, large sash windows, decorative cornices and vintage bathroom fittings.

While the opportunity to reinvigorate this home is enticing, it is comfortable as it is.

An entrance hall leads to a large bedroom on one side and a living room on the other. The bedroom features a large corner window that looks out to the pretty front garden. The light and spacious living room has front windows either side of the fireplace, a heating and cooling unit and decorative cornices.

A second and third bedroom, both with large windows, and a bathroom with a vintage green standalone basin and bath complete the front of the home.

At the end of the hallway is a functional kitchen that has lots of cupboard space, a gas stove top and dishwasher.

And it is here that the home opens up. The kitchen overlooks a lovely sunroom – it’s a much-loved space.

A bank of windows, stretching the width of the home, brings in lots of light and a view of the beautiful garden beyond. This room also has a wall of inbuilt cupboards and a heating and cooling unit.

Garden lovers will delight in the back yard. It includes fruit trees – apple, pear, olive and lemon trees – a productive vegetable garden, water tank, hot house and a peaceful sitting area.

Off the sunroom is a laundry with an extra shower.

This property is perfectly placed to take advantage of the winning Geelong West lifestyle. It is within walking distance to schools and the Pakington St shops and cafes; and a short drive to the Geelong railway station and Geelong CBD and easy access to the Ring Road or Latrobe Terrace for Melbourne commuters.
