Period home with modern touches

The best of old and new combines at this recently renovated East Geelong home that is ready for its new era.

The classic but well-kept 1930s façade at 353 Myers Street provides a hint of what’s to come. Dark timber panels throughout rooms inside add to the period quality, while recent updates add modern touches to the classic residence.

The combination is best encapsulated in the kitchen – where a 900m freestanding oven and cooktop is incorporated in the original brick oven hearth.

Elsewhere, the property has two bedrooms, two connected living areas, a laundry and main bathroom, while a deck outside includes a freestanding bath.

The established gardens out the front of the home provide an inviting entry, while the exotic plants in the north-facing backyard create an enchanting space that also includes a paved seating area, pond and water feature in the perfect space to relax.

At the rear of the yard is a garage and studio, providing versatile options for its new owner’s needs.

The property is perfectly located near shops and cafes, medical precincts, Geelong’s CBD and is another test for Geelong’s gardens precinct that has produced strong results in recent months.

Buxton Geelong East is selling this property for between $1.3 million to $1.35 million.
