Bespoke Bruce Warren home sells in central Geelong laneway
A bespoke home built in a little-known laneway in Geelong's inner east has sold very quickly as buyers cottoned on to the serenity on offer. The home was originally built as a family home by Geelong builder Bruce Warren and has transacted for the second time as the present owners move to Queensland, McGrath, Geelong agent David Cortous said. The 343sq m property just off Fitzroy St at 8-10 Wilson Place sold for $1.7m after five weeks on the market. 'It was a pretty popular property, actually there was two or three buyers on it,' Mr Cortous said. 'It was a really good product. Obviously it's tucked away down a laneway, so it's a nice, quiet spot. 'Laneways aren't for everybody but some people really like them because they're quiet, little dead-end lanes. 'The product itself is amazing. Bruce did a fantastic job with that one, it was actually his home.' The house features two kitchens (the butler's pantry doubles as a full second kitchen, both fitted with fridges, ovens and stone benches), an extensive outdoor entertaining area and multiple living zones. A covered outdoor area is within the roofline offers an outdoor kitchen and seating area to enjoy the northern sunshine. The bathroom and ensuite have floor-to-ceiling tile work, stone benches, freestanding bath, stunning matt black tapware and underfloor heating. There's hydronic heating, CCTV and double glazed windows throughout. The location is close to Geelong's main city hospitals and is walking distance to the Garden St cafe strip, botanic gardens and waterfront. Mr Cortous said the home offered great architecture and great execution. 'People now want that turnkey stuff because it's expensive to build, it's expensive to renovate. 'There's probably more value in something like that because you don't have to go through the pain of building such a nice property.'
