Available for the first time in nearly 50 years, this rare offering presents an exceptionally unique opportunity to secure a large family home on a huge block walking distance to schools of all ages, Waurn Ponds Shopping precinct, train station, Deakin Uni, Epworth Hospital and the Waurn Ponds Creek reserves that offer fantastic walking and cycling tracks all the way back to the Barwon River. The location is also 10 minutes to Geelong CBD and 2 minutes to the Geelong Ring Road for an easy commute to Melbourne or a quick trip to the Surf Coast. Immaculately maintained and presented whilst highlighting some of the original features, the home is over 35sq across 2 levels, plus garage, and can either remain as a large family residence, or utilise the self-contained living for a family member or creative income generating investment / studio. Upon entry the size is apparent as the generous foyer is large enough to act as a home office/studio. Leading on, a carpeted living space adjoins the vast open plan epicentre of the home offering 2nd living area, dining room and kitchen. The kitchen boasts timber cabinetry, dishwasher, gas cooking, loads of storage, double fridge cavity and overlooks the outdoor entertaining area with convenient servery window. Additionally the ground floor offers a huge laundry, main bathroom and plenty of under stair storage. Gas heating controls the climate, whilst solar panels reduce the utility bill. A hardwood staircase leads to the top level where 4 bedrooms all have built in robes, remote security shutters and are serviced by a central bathroom and separate toilet. The 2 rooms on the North side enjoy stunning views that span 180 degrees resulting in a panoramic vista from the city to the sunset. Bedroom 1 is 5m long and could also become a rumpus opening to an expansive north facing balcony (STCA). Adjoining the home, a self-contained unit with its own bathroom and kitchenette can be a great income generator, independent space for a family member OR open a door directly to the home creating a 5th bedroom with ensuite. Alfresco entertaining will be a regular occurrence with a 10m x 4m undercover area that overlooks the low maintenance, well established raised grass yard at the rear of the home. An oversized garage with twin roller doors provides secure parking for 2 cars and includes a workbench alcove, whilst a separate designated parking space and plenty of driveway allows for further off street parking.
