Best Street, Best Property
This builder's own family home in one of Geelong's best and tightly-held streets presents a rare opportunity. The 10 year-old Mirko home is an entertainer's delight, with generous living areas designed around a wonderful pool and pergola area. Three sets of north-facing sliding doors provide total access, with the solar and gas heated salt water pool protected by a 1.5 metre glass panel fence. The elevated rendered brick home is wired for sound inside and out, featuring an intercom, doorbell camera and alarm system. The paved pool area with its underwater lighting and splashing fountain provides a lovely night or day outlook from several rooms in the two storey four bedroom home. The recently updated kitchen matches cream vinyl wrap cabinetry with granite bench tops, inset with St George and Bosch appliances, plumbed in fridge and large pantry. The light and bright kitchen, dining and family room is enhanced with glass bricks and built-in bespoke television cabinet. There's a spare living area, formal lounge or kids TV room off the welcoming entry on one side and a gym room on the other. A curved timber staircase leads to a parent's retreat or study, with a French door out to a balcony above the remote double garage offering impressive views over the city and to the You Yangs. The generous master bedroom has a walk-in robe and double ensuite complete with spa bath. A two-way bathroom and separate toilet services the three minor bedrooms, each with built-in robes. The spacious laundry, clustered with a guest powder room, is served by a laundry chute from upstairs while the garage boasts extra storage and a wine cellar. The Alfresco affords a built-in gas barbecue while a cafe blind protects the doorway leading to the well-grassed back yard with its established trees, sprinkler system, storage and sandpit. A retaining wall offers space for garden beds, great for home grown produce without any unpleasant bending. A combination of slab electric and ducted heating with evaporative cooling offers internal climate control. All north facing windows feature e-screens and full block-out blinds, with timber plantation shutters decorating the front windows.
