128 Fitzroy Street Geelong, 3220 VIC

Rare Opportunity to Rejuvenate a Piece of Geelong’S past and Make It Your Forever Home

3 1 2

Built in the early 1900s and kept within the same family for almost a century, this bungalow-style home on a corner block is a rare opportunity to become part of Geelong’s history. The unique property is like a time capsule from a bygone era with its formal dining room, swanky bar, high-ceilinged bedrooms and narrow staircases; one leads up to a large versatile attic space, the other downwards to a reinforced bomb shelter from World War II. The backyard includes an alfresco beneath an attractive Jacaranda, a petrol pump adjacent to the Verner Street driveway from when an electrician ran his business from the property, remains of an extravagant fishpond which have been incorporated into the garden, and plenty of space to renovate or extend to make the property your own.

Walking through this special home feels like stepping back in time. Period leadlight adorns the front door and verandah, internal walls are lined with distinctive textured concrete rendering, there are hardwood timber floorboards underfoot and original light fixtures and quirky nooks and crannies add to the home’s charm. Bedrooms are well-sized and one comes with in-built storage.
