11 Richmond Street Geelong

Distinctive Art Moderne style meets contemporary class in this meticulously renovated home providing all the lifestyle benefits of an inner-city address.

Attention to detail has been a priority in creating a stunner for modern living and entertaining.

With sports facilities at Richmond Oval a few hundred metres away, and South Geelong train station, the medical precinct, shops and cafes all within walking distance, the property is also ultra-convenient.

The home, circa 1932, retains an array of original features, including its Conite render exterior, decorative ceiling panels, character picture rails/shelves, and timber doors with glass handles.

But it has also been updated for a modern era – re-wired, re-plumbed, re-stumped, re-roofed, fitted out with new insulation, striking custom-made windows modelled on the artwork of Mondrian and boasting a stunning open-plan entertainment-friendly living zone and garden studio.

The rear, north-facing living area incorporates a chef’s kitchen, spacious meals area and lounge and extends out to an alfresco deck and undercover cabana through double sliding doors.

The centrepiece of the kitchen is a 3m-long island bench with granite top, complementing a suite of European appliances, including a 900mm Smeg oven, Miele dishwasher and integrated Liebherr refrigerator and freezer, plus Franke sink and abundant storage in soft-close cupboards and drawers.

The three generous bedrooms are located away from the living hub for privacy, the master with garden outlook, walk-in robe and upmarket ensuite accessed via a unique barn-style sliding door.

A second bedroom at the front of the house has a cosy open fireplace and the third a large built-in robe.

A stunning north-facing bathroom with picture window looking out to the private rear garden boasts a deep free-standing soaker tub, walk-in shower, granite bench and quality fixtures and fittings.

It adjoins the spacious laundry, cleverly designed to hide the appliances under the granite bench, with loads of storage and its own garden window.

The rear studio, with sliding doors on two sides to welcome the greenery inside, quality ensuite and walk-in storage room, is ideal as a teen retreat, guest getaway, granny flat or home office with relaxing outlook.

Other highlights include oak timber floors, hydronic heating, split-system unit, roller blinds, sound system, heated towel rails, in-wall toilet cisterns, bathroom mirror storage cabinets and well-established garden.

The property, zoned to South Geelong Primary School, is walking distance to University Hospital and East Geelong shopping village.

It’s also within easy reach of private schools in Newtown, Geelong Botanic Gardens, the waterfront, CBD shops and offices, GMHBA Stadium, the Ring Road and the highway to the Bellarine Peninsula.
