Enviably located in a prized pocket of Manifold Heights, this treasured home is the perfect place to create family memories.

High ceilings and polished floorboards enrich the interiors, while the layout creates flexibility for growing families. Art deco doors open onto the front lounge, where you can enjoy cosy winter days by the open fireplace. You'll love that northern light sweeps through the open plan living/dining/kitchen zone and versatile family room, which both open onto the covered entertaining deck for breezy indoor-outdoor living.

The kitchen showcases a large island bench/breakfast bar, built-in pantry and quality stainless steel appliances (ASKO dishwasher, Electrolux 1.5 oven and Electrolux 5-burner gas cooktop). Parents will appreciate that the kitchen window overlooks the backyard so they can watch little ones playing outside.

Three bedrooms with built-in robes are serviced by two bathrooms, while the laundry completes the layout. Boasting built-in robes and the second bathroom, the family room offers immense potential as a main bedroom. Other features include ducted heating, evaporative cooling, and a doorway connecting two of the bedrooms.

When it comes to outdoor living, it doesn't get much better than this. The entertaining deck flows onto the north-facing backyard, creating a wealth of space for fun-filled gatherings and everyday enjoyment. Beautiful trees line the corner of the spacious backyard, while the firepit zone inspires laidback nights under the starry sky. The wide driveway provides vehicle access to the backyard and ample off street parking, where the garage could be used for parking as well or as the ultimate tradie's workshop.

With a variety of schools and private colleges just moments away, including The Geelong College Junior and Middle School within easy walking distance, this location is a dream come true for families. Public transport and sporting grounds are a short stroll away, while the Barwon River walking trails are wonderfully close by for weekend bike rides. Both Shannon Avenue and Pakington Street take care of all your shopping and dining needs. Easy access to the Ring Road keeps you connected to Melbourne and the Surf Coast.

Potential rent return at $640 - $660 per week.
