2 Villamanta Street, Geelong West, Vic 3218

This charming, period home is sure to excite buyers seeking an inner-city lifestyle.

Set behind a picket fence, in a street lined with character homes, this pretty property is within walking distance of the Geelong Railway Station, the CBD, local schools and the vibrant Pakington Street shopping and dining precinct.

Built in 1910, the property is a delightful mix of character features and modern comforts.

A traditional foyer with high ceilings and a decorative arch welcomes you into the home and opens into a spacious, carpeted living area. This lovely room features a beautiful timber mantlepiece, open fireplace, decorative ceiling rose and large sash windows.

At some stage this room has been opened up to lead seamlessly into the kitchen. It provides a feeling of space.

The kitchen is modern, yet retains the period charm. Timber floors, white cupboards and black benchtops team to give this area a classic cottage look.  And all the modern fittings are here – there’s a corner pantry, dishwasher, double sink and a double stainless oven and gas cooktop set into a brick feature wall.

The benchtop runs the length of the back window above. With a view out to the garden and lots of light, it’s the perfect place for those who enjoy cooking.

The home has three lovely bedrooms. The front room has a decorative open fireplace and another is set up like a library with walls of book shelves. This room features a beautiful, three-pane leadlight window that looks out to the street.

The third bedroom has a built-in robe, large sash-window and is conveniently close to the stunning family bathroom. Recently renovated with quality fittings, the bathroom includes a double walk-in shower, large vanity unit and a floor-to-ceiling cupboard all in white and soft greys.

For extra convenience, there is also a powder room further along the hallway. The home is fitted with central heating and reverse cycle air conditioning in the living area for year-round comfort. Outside there is a lovely, well-maintained back garden with a covered deck and stone-walled garden beds.

For buyers who enjoy inner-city living, or for those seeking an easy commute, this property is a must to inspect.
