Set behind a classic picket fence and framed by neatly manicured gardens, this beautifully retained character home offers a seamless blend of old-world charm and modern living.

Overflowing with rich period details, the light-filled interiors showcase soaring ceilings, ornate ceiling roses, colourful leadlight windows and original timber floorboards, exuding warmth and heritage appeal. Centrally located, the open-plan kitchen and dining zone is anchored by an original brick fireplace. The modern kitchen combines classic style with functionality, boasting rich timber cabinetry, quality stainless steel appliances, timber benchtops and a large walk-in pantry. A contemporary rear extension introduces a generous, north-facing living area with bi-fold doors opening to a sundrenched alfresco deck and rear yard - the ideal setting for outdoor entertaining with friends and family. It also incorporates a well-appointed home office with excellent built-in storage, making working from home a breeze.

All three generously sized bedrooms have built-in robes and soft carpet underfoot. They share access to a chic updated bathroom featuring a shower-over-bath and stone-topped vanity. A separate laundry with external access, ample storage and a second toilet adds further convenience. Comfort is ensured year-round with ducted heating, a modern Oblica fireplace, reverse-cycle heating/cooling and ceiling fans throughout.

Superbly positioned within walking distance to the Geelong West end of Pakington Street and only a short stroll to Western Beach. Zoned to Ashby Primary School, it boasts easy access to Geelong's top secondary schools. Close proximity to North Geelong Station and swift access to the Melbourne freeway make commuting effortless, while keeping you well connected to Geelong's vibrant CBD and waterfront precinct.
