1A Walter St, East Geelong, at left, is on the market for $1.225m to $1.285m.
A large island bench is the centrepiece of the designer kitchen.
One of the vendors behind the project at 1A Walter St, East Geelong, says the prime inner ring location was the key motivation behind the project.
“It’s an area that is being re-established and a lot of properties are being demolished and new houses being built because it’s in proximity to the hospital and university,” he said.
“We were looking for something that was in proximity to the bay and it’s near the Geelong gardens so that’s a good spot to be.”
BK Builders, overseen by Stephen Nolan, constructed the two-storey townhouse, which set on its own 337sq m title and flush with quality finishes.
The design packs in the full suite of features, including three well-appointed bathrooms plus a powder room, four bedrooms and a dedicated home office.
The open-plan living zone is bathed in northern light.
The first floor bedroom suite has private balcony access.
American oak timber floors flow throughout the entry and open-plan living zone that’s the centrepiece of the ground floor.
Here warm, neutral tones are reinforced in the kitchen, where darker timber cabinetry is paired with stone countertops on the island bench and quality appliances including an integrated dishwasher.
In keeping with the low-maintenance ethos, the adjoining compact back garden provides both a manageable lawn and a paved entertainment zone with favourable northerly aspect.
The addition of a covered first floor balcony framing treetop neighbourhood views provides another opportunity for outdoor connection.
“It’ got a small back yard but it’s ample for what people want today, people don’t want to spend a lot of time maintaining the garden,” the vendor says.
The townhouse has three full sized bathrooms, plus a powder room and laundry.
“We wanted to make them look attractive but they are also quite liveable from an occupant’s point of view. You have got the veranda on the second floor which gives a good westerly aspect.”
The provision of two potential main bedroom suites adds to the flexibility of the layout.
Those seeking to primarily live on a single level may choose the ground floor option, with a full wall of built-in wardrobes and an ensuite. Alternatively, the upstairs front bedroom suite incorporates a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and the additional attraction of sliding doors onto the private balcony.
Another bathroom featuring floor-to-ceiling tiles and a freestanding bathtub services the two remaining bedrooms.
