Front row for coveted bayside lifestyle

24 Western Beach Road, Geelong

Wake up to picture-perfect bay views in this classy and meticulously updated period home occupying a premium waterfront position.

With Corio Bay across the road, a front-row seat for New Year fireworks and the Festival of Sails, and an easy stroll to bayside dining, the city and vibrant Pakington St, the 483sqm (approx.) property presents a rare lifestyle opportunity.

Picture windows on both levels of the double-storey home frame the stunning vista, whether entertaining, relaxing, working in a striking home office setting or taking in the water outlook to start the day.

 

No expense has been spared in returning the elevated circa 1915 property to its former glory, setting it up for a new era while importantly retaining period features.The original home has been re-wired, re-stumped, re-lined, re-clad and re-plastered, with the upper level also rebuilt as part of an extensive update.

Downstairs features two formal lounge rooms, formal dining, a guest bedroom or office, laundry, bathroom and a family zone with living and casual meals areas, plus a designer kitchen with large butler’s pantry.

The expansive main lounge, with wood-burning heater and feature English oak surround, boasts premier views across the water, as does the guest bedroom/office with original western red cedar ceiling.

 

The dining room seats 10 for formal dinners or large gatherings, while the second lounge, with decorative period Carrara marble fireplace sourced from the Fyansford quarry, is ideal for quiet time or smaller formal occasions.

The rear living zone, accommodating multiple sofas and a dining suite, features hand-seeded concrete floors for a Mediterranean terrazzo feel and is bathed in natural light, thanks to 2.7m windows that slide open wide to extend the living space onto a paved terrace.
