189 Yarra Street Geelong

Luxury contemporary living meets absolute wow factor in this near-new home that pays homage to the heritage traditions of its inner-city neighbourhood.

Beyond the grandeur of the character-filled exterior is a modern architect-designed masterpiece built for comfortable, clean and convenient living.

No expense has been spared in fitting out the award-winning property perfectly located within walking distance of CBD shops and restaurants, the Waterfront and hospital precincts, Deakin University, South Geelong railway station, GMHBA Stadium, cafes and South Geelong Primary School.

With its low-maintenance footprint and sleek design, the home is readymade for a busy corporate couple, family on the go or downsizers keen to enjoy city living.

The lower floor, with functional polished concrete floors, is home to an entertainment-friendly open-plan kitchen, dining and living zone designed to ensure the chef is at the centre of the action.

The state-of-the-art kitchen boasts a suite of Miele appliances, including electric oven, induction cooktop, integrated refrigerator and dishwasher, Caesarstone benchtops, timber-look splashbacks, butler’s pantry, breakfast bar and abundant storage.

The adjoining dining space easily houses a full-size table for family get-togethers or dinner parties, while the living area accommodates a lounge suite, TV and play space.

Step out onto the long timber deck with northerly aspect for alfresco dining, barbecues, play or an afternoon reading on the built-in bench seat.

Also downstairs is a luxe powder room, study nook, laundry with stone bench and stunning timber cabinetry, along with direct access to the double garage.

The upper floor is the private bedroom zone, highlighted by a master suite with walk-in robe featuring cathedral-style ceilings, dressing room, high-end ensuite with central vanity book-ended by a hidden shower and toilet, and north-facing balcony.

Two further bedrooms have built-in robes and abundant space for kids to play or study in style and are serviced by a designer bathroom with free-standing oval bath, twin vanities and spacious shower.

The central second bedroom, with double doors, would also be ideal as a light-filled home office.

Other highlights include solid blackbutt floors upstairs, designer bathroom basins, tapware and floor-to-ceiling porcelain tiles, security system, ducted heating, split-system units, plantation shutters, high ceilings, tall interior doors and garage accessed from Jones Place at the rear.

The property is also within easy reach of Pakington Street shops and cafes, the Barwon River, an array of private schools, and the Ring Road to Melbourne or the Surf Coast.
