Grand-Scale Family Living with Unmistakable Character

Big, bold and full of personality, this substantial family residence is a brilliant example of an era when homes were built on a grand scale. Set on approximately 613sqm in Yarraville, the home was designed and constructed in the 1970s with absolute luxury in mind, showcasing the generous proportions, quality finishes and distinctive architectural character that represented high-end living of its time.

There is something undeniably cool about the home's retro personality. From its oversized rooms and impressive entertaining spaces to its original design details and finishes, the property captures the confidence and flair of 1970s luxury, while offering an incredible amount of space for modern family life.

Across two expansive levels, the sheer scale of the home immediately stands out. Large living, dining and kitchen areas form the heart of the residence, complemented by multiple additional living zones that give families the freedom to spread out, entertain and enjoy the home in different ways. The kitchen is generously proportioned and centrally positioned, maintaining an easy connection with the surrounding living and dining spaces.

The ground floor also features a generously sized bedroom with a nearby bathroom, creating excellent flexibility for guests, extended family or those wanting a private office or retreat.

Upstairs, the grand proportions continue with four spacious bedrooms, headlined by an impressive master suite with walk-in robe and private ensuite. The remaining bedrooms are serviced by a substantial central bathroom, while balconies and abundant natural light further enhance the home's wonderfully nostalgic character.

Outside, the 613sqm allotment provides even more versatility. A double garage and additional carport offer excellent off-street parking, while a fully self-contained bungalow at the rear provides a fantastic additional living option for extended family, older children, guests or anyone wanting their own independent space.

Situated in Yarraville with convenient access to schools, shopping, parklands, public transport and the CBD, this is far from your typical family home. It's grand, retro, wonderfully unique and packed with personality - a genuine slice of high-end 1970s architecture offering the kind of space and individuality that's increasingly difficult to find.

For buyers who appreciate homes with character, scale and a story to tell, 471 Geelong Road is an opportunity to embrace its funky retro appeal, modernise it over time or simply enjoy the unmistakable charm of an era that wasn't afraid to make a statement.
