Abode

A family home that retains significant liveability still provides rewarding moments of original mid-century design. The main pavilion, with views to the north, offers a space that spills out to a secluded deck, native gardens and down to the large updated pool area. Contemporary elements in the kitchen, laundry and bathrooms help the home move with the times; while the ample accommodation is lined in a Tasmanian Blackwood, broken only by the floor to ceiling windows with views of the surrounding greenery. An open fireplace, hydronic heating, cellar and subtle street presence make this a comfortable and character-filled setting in the heart of Geelong.

History

Famed Victorian Architects, McGlashan Everest designed the home in 1968. Celebrated at the time for residential works such as Fern House, Guss House and of course Heidi II; the architects went on to be appointed for the redevelopment of the Wool Stores, now Deakin University and Costa Hall. Along with a number of major projects such as the Geelong Gallery, Barwon Heads Golf Club and Ormond College at Melbourne University.
