Very rarely does a heritage home in the Geelong CBD come along that is this unique, waiting to be transformed. The two story semi-detached brick villa was built by Scottish architects in 1870 and boasts a picturesque Victorian style. Known as 'Honddu Villa', the home is likened to stepping back in time, with many of the original properties proudly on display. Featuring high ceilings throughout, on the ground floor, the lounge and dining rooms are light filled from bay windows and include open fireplaces with the rooms separated by bi-fold doors. The kitchen includes a large space beneath the floor which would make an excellent wine cellar. Above the laundry are stairs which lead to what was known as the 'maid's residence'. Heading up the main stairs is the living quarters, which includes two bedrooms with fireplaces, a third bedroom, a dressing room which could be converted to a study and bathroom. Outside features a large north facing yard space which could be utilised in any number of ways, an original horse stable / coach house complete with an upstairs hay loft and includes rear access via Bambra St. If the character of the home doesn't entice you enough, step out onto the street and discover what the Geelong CBD has to offer. This is a home which truly needs to be seen to be appreciated.
