Grand Edwardian ready for a new era

Embrace the opportunity to restore this grand Edwardian home, circa 1904, to its former glory. Or take advantage of the prominent position to set up professional or commercial suites (STCA) in the period property.<br/>The classic weatherboard home is well-positioned, walking distance to the Pakington St shopping and dining strip, Geelong train station and CBD shops and offices. On a corner block with parking at the rear, it retains a wealth of period features as it prepares to welcome a new era. It’s a blank canvas waiting for the creative and thoughtful touch of its next owners.<br/><br/>The traditional veranda with timber fretwork, leadlight, original fireplaces with timber surrounds, deep cornices, ceiling roses, picture rails, a decorative hall arch, and timber and pressed metal ceilings are all still remarkably intact. The existing layout, boasting well-proportioned rooms typical of the home’s original era, includes a wide entry hall, expansive front lounge room, kitchen with meals area and wood-burning heater, four bedrooms, a central bathroom and a rear addition with extra living room that could double as a study or extra bedroom. <br/><br/>The elevated back of the home also offers the opportunity to design a new extension to take advantage of its north-facing outlook (STCA). The property is also convenient to a host of private schools, GMHBA Stadium, the waterfront, the arts and hospital precincts and the Ring Road.
