History for sale ONE OF central Geelong’s iconic residential properties has gone on the market. Built long before the bulk of the city’s contemporary housing, Ryrie Street’s Chipchase offers a slice of Geelong’s real estate history. The house was built in the 1930s as a doctor’s surgery before former Geelong Football Club medico Kevin Threlfall moved in around three decades later. Australian Property Investor selling agent Toby Primrose said the interior of the rambling mansion still included traces of Dr Threlfall’s practice. "There are the original consulting rooms and a small foyer in one section of the home and the rest is a beautiful, impressive and comfortable family home," Mr Primrose said. "I think the property would appeal to a large family or could return to its original purpose of a combined home and home business for a professional like a doctor or a lawyer." Mr Primrose said the home's design was modelled on a mixture of Queen Anne revival and contemporary bungalow styles, with flat Tudor arches, dark chocolate-tiled roofing, heavy gables, medusa cement, terrazzo and polished timber flooring, white marble, bevelled plate glass and solid maple-framed panelling. Cosy "ingle nook" corners, in-built window seats, a third level viewing platform, original fireplaces and mantels, a huge balcony terrace with views of Corio Bay and

the You Yangs and a corner tower were a few of the home's "special" features, he said. "The home also has eight double bedrooms, three bathrooms and one en suite on approximately 1050 square metres of land," he said. "The 18-room home has been lovingly and sympathetically cared for by its current owners. "At the rear of the property are stables fronting Wesley Place - simply outstanding." Mr Primrose said the property was privately enclosed behind a high pittosporum hedge and fastidiously maintained gardens lead up to an impressive front veranda. "Rarely does a house of this calibre hit the market. "Chipchase provides an enviable combination of period features and oldworld charm set behind an imposing solid brick façade. "Located on the edge of Geelong's vibrant CBD, Chipchase is one of Geelong's largest and finest homes." The residence still had a permit for use as a bed and breakfast. "It was used as a bed and breakfast sometime before 2006, so the kitchen is still set up for that kind of establishment," Mr Primrose said. "I would really encourage people to come and have a look at this amazing home. "I have no doubt they’ll will be impressed."

Stately: Ryrie Street’s Chipchase is full of retro style inside and out.

The house itself offers some character features including high ceilings, picture rails, rosettes, polished timber floors and also comes with some updates throughout. The excellent long term tenants have 10 months to go on the lease (and you will hope they re-sign). Hurry because we are not kidding when we say this will be "hot property".

What isn´t there to love about Georgia... when she offers so much. Having been extended and updated Georgia includes 3 generous bedrooms (Built-in-robes), 2 spacious and separate living areas, renovated bathroom and updated kitchen that includes a dishwasher all with a warm country feel. With polished timber flooring, reverse cycle split system and all gas appliances, this is a real stunner. Outside offering lovely gardens but with covered parking for at least 5 cars plus more storage or use the garage as a games room. She loves to entertain and in this great location, close to everything including Corio Shopping Centre. Finally she offers future development potential not seen in others (stca), so you better act quick or kiss Georgia goodbye. North Geelong

That dream home will be a team effort T

he team at Howden Homes prides itself on a professional approach to all projects, whether a small renovation or a multi-million-dollar home. Owner Shane Howden says his experienced team creates beautiful, functional and quality homes. Shane says he experienced some of Australia’s best architecture when he travelled around the continent for three years before opening his business in Geelong. “Over the past 10 years we’ve built things as diverse as churches, pubs, high-end custom-built homes, unit

developments and family homes,” he says. “No matter how big or small we can handle it.” Shane says the advantage of building or renovating with Howden Homes is having complete access to the team at all times. “It’s definitely a much more personalised approach,” he says. “When clients call they get to talk directly to me and not a salesperson. “Our clients really appreciate having that communication and access throughout the project.” Shane says Howden Homes will only

accept a limited amount of work, ensuring full client satisfaction. “That way we can always deliver on our promises,” he says. His team is happy to meet clients to go over ideas and plans to turn their building dream into a reality. “If you want to build with someone who’ll allow you full access, isn’t afraid of client involvement and works with you to achieve your dreams, give us a call at Howden Homes,” Shane says. Howden Homes is at 28 Autumn Street, Geelong West. Phone 0419 303 549 or 5229 0231.

Builders offer best of both worlds H

491086-JF44-10

otondo Homes’ builders Peter Scott and Peter Walters have brought Hotondo’s quality building services to Torquay and surrounding areas. Hotondo Homes has the reputation of offering the care and attention of a local builder with the professionalism and value for money provided by a national network. Hotondo uses local trades and services from the Torquay area to support the community and keep the money local. Customers have more than 90 floor plans to choose from when building with Hotondo. All plans are flexible and can be modified to suit individual needs and budgets. Hotondo can also build custom designed homes if clients have a particular design in mind. “We offer fixed-priced contracts, which is an upfront dollar figure that prevents any further hidden costs in the building process,” Peter Walters says. “We also organise everything from floor plans to bricks to bathroom handles, all under the one roof, so our customers deal with the same staff from start to finish. It also means we are contactable throughout the entire building process to answer any questions that clients might have.” Visit Peter Scott and Peter Walters at the beautiful Beachview 340 Display Home at 1 Nautical Rise, The Quay Estate, Torquay. The display home is open 1pm to 5pm Saturday to Wednesday. More information is available by phoning sales director Lyn on 5261 2866 or 0434 730 962.
