Last Listing description (March 2016)

Welcome to one of Geelong's oldest and most prestigious residences: iconic 'Northumbria'. Nestled amongst manicured Mediterranean gardens, this partially restored Federation home boasts an enormous 1453 sqm approx. allotment spanning 3 titles, expansive views across Geelong and a premier position near Pakington Street.
Enjoy exceptional ease of living at this address, with Newtown's private schools and the desirable River end of Pakington Street walking distance away. The CBD is an easy commute away, and the home is so close to Skilled Stadium that on still evenings you can hear the match. The nearby Ring Road links you effortlessly to the coast and Melbourne.
An elevated position grants incredibly expansive views that take in Newtown, Belmont, Mount Duneed and Barwon Heads.

Partially renovated interiors are to the height of good taste, there is huge potential for you to restore and redesign this stunning canvas to your exact tastes (STCA). Exquisite original Queen Anne features grace the home throughout with colourful leadlight windows, glorious plaster roses, decorative cornice and soaring ceilings setting a graceful tone to interiors.
The expansive floorplan flows over 2 levels, granting intimate spaces for relaxation and large areas for entertaining. The gracious ground level currently houses the formal entry, lounge, separate formal and informal living and dining areas, kitchen, master bedroom, 2nd and 3rd bedroom and bathroom. However, there is huge scope to reimagine this level to include a high-end indoor-outdoor living zone that spills out to the sun-drenched Italianate garden, a designer kitchen with every commodity, and a sumptuous formal entertaining area or complete home theatre.
The restored master bedroom features an original fireplace, with stunning leadlight windows looking across Newtown to Belmont. There is private access to the bathroom and provision for a walk-in robe. Beautifully refurbished, the light-filled 2nd bedroom boasts hardwood floors and built-in bookcases. The gorgeous lounge has been returned to its former glory.
The Heritage Council awarded 2nd-storey blends seamlessly with the original home and provides a children's wing with the 4th, 5th and 6th bedrooms, one with a study, plus a retreat and modern bathroom. Each of the three bedrooms enjoys show-stopping views across Geelong. The home is equipped with ducted heating.
The magnificent split-level garden leaves nothing to do. Intensely private and bordered by pencil pines and ornamental pears, the sun-soaked paved area is perfect for large-scale entertaining. Children are granted the luxury of a large place to play- a rare commodity in Newtown! The in-ground pool has been converted to an underground water tank to feed the gardens. However, the pool could be refurbishing and returned to its original use if desired. There is ample space outdoors for a gorgeous outdoor kitchen, expansive alfresco, large shed and double garage (STCA). Parking in the single lock-up garage.
