South Geelong 16 Foster Street

A Modern Classic


In a fantastic location 2 mins from South Geelong Train station and Kardinia park this elegant 1890's Victorian home has been stripped back to its original frame and painstakingly rebuilt from the ground up to it's former charm whilst incorporating all the modern family comforts.

This immaculate residence has 11 foot ceilings throughout, polished floorboards, ducted heating and cooling and much more. The entry has the original etched glass surround; the hallway has a Baltic ceiling and classic archway leading to the open plan kitchen/living area featuring one of the 5 working ornate open fire places. The kitchen has a stainless steel 900mm oven cook top and dishwasher, and adjoining this area is the formal dining room with its Baltic lining boards giving it a rustic feeling.

There are 4 large bedrooms with built in robes; the main having ensuite, separate toilet with polished concrete floors. The main bathroom is classic Victorian era style with original claw bath, separate shower, pedestal vanity, fully tiled walls and polished jarrah floors. A superb extension comprises the laundry and spacious L-shaped family room with children's study area. French doors open to a Merbau deck and delightfully landscaped rear yard and garden, kids cubby house and sand pit blend in perfectly with a generous paved undercover BBQ and entertaining area.

Beyond this is a large 2 storey garage (7.4m x 8.2m) with lane access. The ground floor has ample work benches, storage and a full bathroom with shower. There is also a sensational upstairs area (7.1m x 5.3m) which could be used as a home office with separate phone/ fax and data installed, a games room or even a 5th bedroom.
