Nestled within one of Newtown's most tightly held and prestigious pockets, this distinguished period residence blends timeless architectural elegance with modern comfort - offering immediate liveability and outstanding scope for a contemporary transformation (STCA).

From the moment you step inside, original features delight - soaring ceilings, beautiful leadlight windows and elegant archways all allude to the home's rich history, while hinting at the potential to create something truly special through renovation. At the rear, a thoughtfully integrated extension introduces generous open-plan living, providing an inviting space for daily life and relaxed entertaining. Sliding doors from the dining area open to a paved pathway framed by lush established gardens, leading to an alfresco deck and sun-drenched north-facing yard. The well-appointed kitchen is flooded by natural light and features sleek stone benchtops, quality appliances (Bosch oven and dishwasher, Westinghouse gas cooktop) and a walk-in pantry. A second lounge area (or versatile fourth bedroom) flows into a sunroom and adjoining study, allowing exceptional flexibility to adapt the space to suit your family's evolving needs.

Three well-proportioned bedrooms include a master with built-in robes and private ensuite, while the main bathroom and laundry comfortably accommodate family living. A reverse cycle heating/cooling unit and multiple ceiling fans ensure year-round climatic comfort. Other highlights include solar panels, a water tank, ample off-street parking, an undercover carport and single lock-up garage.

Surrounded by some of Geelong's most exclusive homes, this blue-chip address is just moments from boutiques, cafes and restaurants along both ends of Pakington Street. Located within walking distance of Chilwell Primary School (zoned) and a selection of the finest secondary colleges. It also offers excellent access to the CBD, Geelong Waterfront, GMHBA stadium and the Geelong Train Station - bringing the best of the city within easy reach.
