Loreley, a grand period residence steeped in over a century of history and timeless elegance, set on 1178sqm (approx.) allotment, behind the privacy of a high fence and under the canopy of a majestic Jacaranda tree. From the moment you enter, discover the spectacular foyer and sweeping Imperial-style staircase, evoking the romance of Gone with the Wind, which sets the tone for a home that is as dramatic as it is welcoming. Inside, original timber paneled ceiling work and exquisite leadlight windows frame the formal lounge and dining rooms with an original fireplace, offering a glimpse into the craftsmanship of the "Arts and Crafts" movement. Multiple living zones, both formal and casual, provide space and flexibility for modern family life, while the fully renovated kitchen is a true showstopper. With a Falcon cooker providing two ovens, European appliances and charming shaker cabinetry and stone countertops, it's a dream for entertainers and home chefs alike. The open-plan living area flows seamlessly to floor-to-ceiling glass windows, inviting the outdoors in and offering views of the fragrant garden filled with flowers and fruit trees. Upstairs, two bedrooms with original pitched ceilings and a study offer peaceful retreats, while the master suite downstairs has been thoughtfully renovated to include a generous walk-in robe and a sleek, modern ensuite. A fourth bedroom on the ground floor doubles perfectly as a home office, adding to the home's versatility. Additional features include ducted heating for year-round comfort, a cellar area tucked beneath the stairs and a large garage plus sizable garden shed with rear lane access and ample space for multiple parking and storage. All of this is set on a rare, large historic allotment within walking distance to some of Geelong's finest schools, cafes and restaurants. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure a landmark home that blends heritage charm with contemporary living. - Ducted heating - Rear lane access - Off-street parking for multiple cars, caravan, boat and trailer - Garage and garden Shed - Double glazing - Stained glass Windows - Falcon cooker - Period details and high ceilings - Vegetable gardens - Over 1000 sqm (approx.) of land
