“GLENDINNING HOUSE”
AN IMPORTANT AND SIGNIFICANT SLICE OF GEELONG’S HISTORY
A fine example of the elegance and sophistication of the Victorian era. Built in 1877 by renowned architects Davidson and Henderson for Dr George Glendinning, this was to become one of Geelong’s most distinctive and recognisable landmark buildings. Lavishly constructed of brick and freestone combined with intricate ironwork and grand plaster mouldings, all influences of the Romanesque and French Gothic periods. The residence has previously been used as a surgery, art gallery and now an exquisite family home. Built over two levels, the lower ground floor has a grand entry hallway, formal front lounge and dining room, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, glorious open plan kitchen/lounge and meals area at the rear opening to a bright alfresco dining and entertaining space. The kitchen has been fully updated to the highest standard with stone bench tops and stainless steel cooking appliances. Upstairs is accessed via an impressive timber staircase that leads to a fully self-contained apartment that enjoys impressive bay and city views (this area also enjoys external access via a rear staircase). Comprising two good size bedrooms, large living room, 2nd kitchen, bathroom and laundry. The apartment is currently returning $600.00 per week on the holiday accommodation market. Access to a lock-up garage and excellent off-street parking is via the rear laneway off Wesley Place. Let this be your opportunity to become the next custodian of this remarkable residence.
