Family lifestyle opportunity in tightly-held historic village

The historic township of Ceres provides the ultimate escape form urban life with the town full of old-world character and the appeal of a country village while being conveniently close to everything the region has to offer.

Hodges Geelong has listed this grand family residence at 8 Wheatsheaf Road that offers a first-class opportunity to enjoy a semi-rural lifestyle in the charming village of Ceres, just 15 minutes from the centre of Geelong.

The striking three-level home, with in-ground swimming pool, boasts expansive living spaces designed for easy entertaining and relaxed family living, a chef’s kitchen with high-end appliances and butler’s pantry, three generous bedrooms, soaring ceilings and walls of windows to welcome natural light.

Tightly held, historic Ceres is one of the region’s best-kept secrets, providing a rare chance to escape the hustle and bustle of city life for quieter living but still be within easy reach of quality schools, shops and medical facilities in Geelong.

The elegant home is split into three distinct zones.

The ground level is the lifestyle hub with an open-plan living, dining and kitchen zone with wood-burning heater, separate formal lounge/family room, plus easy access to the central pool with resort-style pergola.

The classy kitchen boasts a family-size oven and cooktop, herringbone tile splashback, abundant storage and stone-top island bench with breakfast bar.

It conveniently overlooks the living area with space for a full dining table and multiple sofas.

Step out to the alfresco zone with north-facing aspect, wraparound deck and feature stone fireplace for year-round entertaining.

The second level is a dedicated bedroom zone, including master with oversize ensuite and dual walk-in robes, plus two further bedrooms with walk-in robes sharing a central bathroom with separate toilet.

Both luxe bathrooms feature a striking black-and-white palette, unique cast-iron soaker tubs and walk-in showers.

The upper attic level provides more important living space ideal as a teen retreat or private work-from-home space with a lounge/studio, plus gym/rumpus room and mezzanine storage.
