Perfect Pevensey could break Geelong record

One of Geelong’s most awe-inspiring properties is on the market for a sale that could break a suburb record.

17 Pevensey Crescent, Geelong, also known as Pevensey House or Tooronga, has been carefully restored in keeping with its classic Federation Queen Anne style ahead of a sale expected to range between $5.9 million-6.49 million.

Set on 1,136 square metres near the corner of Malop and Garden streets, the ideally positioned property overlooks Pevensey Gardens and is a short walk from Geelong Botanic Gardens and Eastern Beach.

The main house has six bedrooms across two levels, which includes a third-story octagon corner tower, adding a French element to the classic design.

Other features inside include an entrance hall with chandelier, a mahogany staircase.

Arched windows, a music room, dining room with a built-in bar, indoor-outdoor dining areas, open-plan kitchen with marble benchtops and lounges overlooking surrounding parks.

Outside is a self-contained outbuilding including two more bedrooms and a bathroom, plus perfectly manicured garden, a pool and verandahed bays surrounding a tuckpoint brickwork façade.

Pevensey House is also steeped in history, built in 1891 for ironmonger and importer Robert Scott and retaining a host of its original elements with touches of modern comfort.

McGrath Geelong described the property as “Geelong’s most iconic residential home” and is selling this home by expressions of interest, which close November 4.
