Timeless appeal and affordable comfort in the north

Corio is one of Geelong’s largest and most diverse suburbs, spreading to the north edge of Geelong, west into residential areas and along the coast of Corio Bay.

Investors and home owners are turning their attention to this more affordable suburb that has a vast array of public parks, reserves, community facilities and infrastructure making Corio popular with young families and retirees.

Belle Property have listed a solid Corio home that displays all the charm of yesteryear while coming to market under $500,000.

Tucked away in a well-serviced pocket of Corio stands this enduring three- bedroom, one-bathroom, brick-built residence, gracefully standing the test of time and now ready to embrace its next chapter since it was last on market in 1980.

With its original features well looked after, this property presents an inviting opportunity for those eager to craft a contemporary family home without going over budget.

Belle Property’s Maree Corda said the north offered an affordable option for those looking to get into the market under half a million dollars.
