Drumcondra 3 Grandview Grove

What thoughts and images does the word 'Drumcondra' conjure up for you? An esteemed suburban pocket bordered by Geelong CBD and the waters of Corio Bay with leafy tree lined streets, heritage homes and a reputation for being affluent. Your desire to find a suitable home in this area is not easily met as those who already enjoy the benefits of residing here are often reluctant to leave. Such is the case with 3 Grandview Grove, however, the decision has been made and a rare opportunity to fulfill your dreams has become available. I suggest you act on it immediately!

Typical of the history we expect of the area, this traditional Bungalow offers the new owners a remarkable example of original detailing coupled with the convenience of modern adaptations. Your purchase of this home will be rewarded with the luxury of abundant space with 6 (yes...6!) bedrooms, one of which is currently utilised as a home office with library illustrating the flexibility that comes with such abundance. There are also 3 distinct living areas that a growing family can take advantage of with the family / meals directly adjoining the country kitchen. Here the timber lined walls and stone work surfaces invoke a feeling of relaxed invitation to pop the kettle on and settle in for a while; this is a place where meal preparation is all about the love of food and sharing that with those who mean the most to you.

A more formal sitting room with working Victorian fireplace and double hung windows overlooking the green of a neatly tended cottage garden provides a comfortable retreat for those seeking a bit of quiet whilst the more casual room upstairs is perfect for the whole family to lounge about and watch a favourite movie.

Each of the bathrooms is classically decorated and conveniently separated to cater to all family needs with a spa tub included...just for the sheer pleasure of it!

As for the all-important character? It's everything you would hope for and more. The use of heritage colours (both inside and out) give the home both credibility and warmth that resonates strongly with those who appreciate the elegance of times gone by. Wide hallways complete with timber floors and finished with those discreet touches that indicated the wealth of the times such as fretwork arches, leadlighting and detailed ceiling roses all grace this home. Yet, cleverly disguised amid the charm of period features are a wide range of modern amenities that will also please. Ducted heating, evaporative cooling, ample power points and TV points in almost every room of the home are just a few of the inclusions that will set the cautious mind at ease by erasing any concerns about potential work that might be required of an older home. Rest assured, all possible causes for concern have been addressed!

Finished with a brick paved alfresco covered in cooling vines for the warmer months and with carports both front and rear, there is only one point left to make; why would you choose a busy outer suburb of Melbourne (lacking the features of this home and location) when your commute to work in the city would be longer than the one from here? There is literally nothing more you could ask of this property... except for its title to be signed over to you!
