House

Built in 1907, by local notary Alfred Roadknight, this grand and very spacious home has been renovated in luxurious style. Situated in the Regional town of Geelong, an hour from Melbourne, the house is 15 minutes walk to Corio Bay, a beautiful North facing waterfront, cosmopolitan Pakington street cafe's and restaurants, 10 minute walk to the CBD, and at the gateway to the Bellarine Peninsula beaches and wineries, the Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles, Otway Ranges rainforest and Golden Plains winery regions. Geelong is perfectly placed to access some of the best Victoria has to offer. From the grand marble floor entrance, there is a sunny North facing music room with grand piano to the right and a formal lounge with open fireplace to the left. Three well appointed bedrooms along the grand hallway, the first with King size bed and marble ensuite, the other two double beds with shared terazzo and stunning leadlit luxury bathroom.

Just off the kitchen area is a laundry with washer and dryer, and powder room. Large glass double french doors lead to a sunny outdoor entertaining space with BBQ, outdoor sound system, and inground swimming pool with solar heating to cool off in the summer months. The home has a double garage with access from a rear laneway, full back to base security system, ducted heating and cooling, ducted floor vacuuming system, with the option to access certain wines in a well stocked wine cellar at a pay per bottle price.
