3 Fitzroy Street, Geelong

Set along one of Geelong’s most admired tree-lined streets, this landmark Victorian residence occupies a prestigious position between Alexandra Avenue and Eastern Beach Road. Just metres from the Eastern Beach promenade, and a short walk to the CBD, Botanical Gardens and Waterfront, this beautifully renovated three-level home blends classic grandeur with modern luxury in a way rarely found on the city fringe. Beyond the manicured hedging and stately brick columns, the timeless façade, ornate iron lacework and picture-perfect gardens create an immediate sense of elegance and privacy, setting the tone for the quality within. Inside, soaring ceilings, restored stained-glass windows, rich timber detailing and a refined colour palette establish a calm, sophisticated atmosphere from the moment you enter. The versatile floorplan begins with a beautifully appointed formal lounge overlooking the lush front garden, complemented by a private home office with built-in cabinetry—ideal for those working from home. A ground-floor bedroom with built-in robes sits alongside a newly renovated travertine-accented bathroom with contemporary fittings. Toward the rear, the home unfolds into a generous living zone that flows to a sun-filled dining area and the designer kitchen, where vaulted ceilings, stone benchtops, quality appliances and abundant storage form a striking centrepiece for family life. A north-facing glass-roofed atrium is one of the home’s standout features, flooding the space with natural light and creating a seamless connection to the beautifully landscaped rear garden. A sunroom corridor, separate laundry and powder room complete this thoughtfully designed level. On the first floor, two additional bedrooms enjoy leafy, elevated outlooks and are serviced by a fresh contemporary bathroom. An expansive family room opens onto a private balcony, making it an ideal teenage retreat or quiet place to unwind. Above, the second-floor attic provides a scenic vantage point and valuable flexibility, further enhancing the property’s impressive sense of space. Beyond the main residence, a private retreat features a kitchenette, living space and a generous loft studio above perfect for a home office, creative workspace, guest accommodation or a peaceful haven for older children. An adjoining carport, accessible via the rear laneway, adds further convenience and versatility. Outdoors, the 486sqm (approx.) allotment has been masterfully curated to provide a level of privacy rarely achieved this close to the city. Layered plantings, brick pathways, multiple alfresco areas, nestled garden nooks and a charming firepit zone create an enchanting environment ideal for entertaining or unwinding. The low-maintenance landscaping enhances the home’s heritage character while delivering year-round appeal. The renovation has been executed with exceptional care, incorporating premium bathrooms, new timber floors and carpets, fresh paintwork, updated heating and cooling, double glazing in key areas and high-quality finishes throughout. Period charm is thoughtfully preserved, while modern comforts ensure effortless everyday living. Just 200 metres from the historic Eastern Beach bathing pool, morning walks along the bay side boardwalk and coffee at the Beach House Café become part of your daily rhythm. From this privileged address, you can stroll to the Botanical Gardens, Geelong Yacht Club, top schools, hospitals and the CBD—all while enjoying the peace and privacy of a tightly held residential street.
