The lifestyle appeal of East Geelong’s Golden Triangle has captured the attention of buyers, as evidenced by the recent sale of a four-bedroom weatherboard residence at 355 Myers Street for $1.28 million.
This circa 1930s home offers a unique blend of old-world heritage charm and modern, resort-style amenities, with poolside entertaining taking center stage. A large, north-facing deck provides the perfect setting for hosting family and friends, featuring an outdoor kitchen, a self-cleaning swimming pool, and a spa—ideal for those who enjoy outdoor living.
The Ideal Property
Geelong agent Will Ainsworth, from Gartland, noted that the young couple who purchased the property had been living in Geelong for some time. They had sold their previous home and were actively looking to upgrade within the coveted Golden Triangle. After viewing several properties, they repeatedly returned to this one. Ainsworth said, “It had the layout they were hoping for. They loved the pool in the backyard. They do a lot of cycling and enjoy being near Eastern Gardens, so it was the ideal property for them.”
Heritage and Modern Features
Inside, the home maintains its heritage charm with high ceilings, timber floorboards, and open fireplaces, complemented by a modern renovation. The flexible floor plan offers three separate living spaces across two levels. The front lounge and formal dining room retain classic styling, while the open-plan living area features an IXL stove and a kitchen equipped with Neff double ovens and a five-burner gas cooktop.
The ground-floor main bedroom is a highlight, offering a dressing room and luxurious ensuite, featuring a marble feature wall and a dual marble-topped vanity. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms all have built-in wardrobes, with one bedroom offering balcony access.
Prime Location
East Geelong’s Golden Triangle is known for its wide, tree-lined streets and its proximity to central Geelong, Eastern Park, and the waterfront. The area has a reputation for being tightly held, making properties in the neighborhood highly sought after. Additionally, the Garden Street shopping village adds to the convenience and appeal of the location.
For those seeking a home that combines heritage charm with modern living, 355 Myers Street stands as a prime example of the lifestyle perks that make East Geelong such an attractive place to live.
