118 Church St, Hamlyn Heights, Vic 3215

There are many exciting options to discuss when considering this property. You could renovate and restore it to its original beauty as others have done in the neighbourhood or you could wipe the slate clean and build a beautiful new home in one of Geelong's most sought-after pockets.

At first sight this home has instant appeal. Swirling wrought iron beams feature either side of its front porch and a bay window displays roses in an intricate leadlight pattern. Established gardens feature an abundance of roses adding colour and additional charm to the homes exterior.

Double front frosted doors greet you and open to reveal a wide hall featuring ¾ timber dado paneling with carpet underfoot.

Off the hall is the formal lounge room where the bay window is the main feature along with an art-deco mantelpiece with a heater enclosed.

Further along, a second living area/dining room features a brick mantelpiece with a gas heater and double frosted French doors that open to reveal a private north-facing patio. It's a great place to relax with a coffee while watching the kids climb all over the outdoor pine play equipment.

The homes kitchen would come up a treat with a makeover, however it's functional, family-friendly, has ample cabinet and bench space, a dishwasher cavity and provides the chef with a quality gas horizontal oven and stove. A large west-facing window provides a wealth of natural light and there is enough room in this zone for a large dining table and buffet hutch.

Two main bedrooms are generous - one has its own BIR, while a third smaller room is ideal for a nursery or study. Another option to consider is converting the formal lounge into the master bedroom. This equates to three sizeable bedrooms plus study/nursery and a separate living area.

The bathroom is also in need of a little TLC, but is still very functional, has a shower over the bath, a wall-mounted basin and a built-in medicine cabinet.

The laundry has been built-in under the homes roofline. It has ample room for a washer and dryer plus an additional zone for drying clothes. A separate toilet adjoins.

To the side, a large concrete driveway leads past double gates to a single garage complete with workbench.

Ideally located, this property has real potential. It's ideal for the budget buyer, DIY person or the astute developer looking for prime real estate.
