Charm and breathtaking views on offer in Wandana Heights

Elders Real Estate Geelong have recently listed a Wandana Heights property steeped in history and old-world nostalgia.

Originally the homestead of a larger property, “Moncrieff” still sits proudly on the crest of the Wandana Heights hill.

Bursting with timeless charm and captivating views of Geelong and Corio Bay, 20-22 Drewan Drive is an extraordinary family home.

Lovingly cared for by the same family for circa 85 years and showing a seamless blend of character and modern comforts, this four-bedroom gem is a true testament to enduring quality.

Elders rural and lifestyle sales manager Peter Lindeman said the property was a real piece of nostalgic Geelong history.

“The home stands as grand as it did when it was the epicentre of the original pastoral enterprise.

“The vendors have done an outstanding job in presenting this home that has undergone a respectful modernising to ensure the original character is retained.”

As you step through the front door, a sense of nostalgia greets you.

The open plan living area beckons, providing an inviting space warmed by a gas heater as well as a reverse cycle air conditioner.

Natural light streams through the windows, illuminating the exquisite original glass details that have stood the test of time and highlighting ornate cornices, double height cedar ceilings and original hardwood floors.

The heart of this home is undoubtedly the kitchen and open plan living space, a contemporary addition, where high ceilings and abundant windows echo a traditional past.

The kitchen’s layout offers both functionality and a delightful sense of togetherness with an island bench, gas top cooking and easy flow to the dining space.

Garden views reveal the old butter churning room, a small garden house with potential to be updated to be a studio or retreat.

The verandah and deck surrounding the house includes ornate detailing and fret work embracing the essence of heritage design.

Three generously proportioned bedrooms, each with unique charm can be found on the ground floor, with built in robes and original wide sash windows.

Upstairs, the master suite with walk in robe and ensuite is a private oasis that includes a living space and balcony boasting a tranquil atmosphere and picturesque vistas of the ever-changing colours of Corio Bay.

Positioned across a large double block, a turnabout driveway and double car garage provides ample off street car parking and a sizable water tank also services the property.

With Geelong on your doorstep and easy connections to Melbourne and beyond via the Ring Road, this is a rare opportunity to purchase a piece of updated Geelong history in a great locale.

To be sold via expression of interest with offers by 5pm on August 22.
