A generously planned and beautifully rendered renovation of this 19th century home ensures a seamless transition of new and old. Follow the brick paving through the cottage garden and you’re greeted by a green double door inviting you into a spacious north-facing open plan living room with wood heating, and large floor to ceiling windows overlooking the garden. Beyond the living room is the zoned master bedroom with views over the private rear garden and featuring a large walk-in robe and spacious modern ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower. There are two more double bedrooms, one with built-in robes and all with wooden window shutters. The heart of the home is the country kitchen with generous island bench, extra wide free-standing range and dishwasher, which adjoins a sunny dining area. There’s a dedicated home office, central family bathroom with large bath, plus a galley style laundry utility room with ample storage. The home also boasts a wine cellar among its many features, plus reverse cycle-air conditioning and quality fittings throughout, such as double-glazed windows, dual instantaneous hot-water systems and heated bathroom floor. Outside, in landscaped gardens is a new lock up garage, workshop and covered single carport along with private courtyard spaces, fruit and vegetable beds, orchard and citrus grove. Situated on a 1,007 m² allotment within walking distance to the primary school, sporting and recreation grounds and retail precinct and offers an easy commute to both Geelong and Melbourne.
