57 Geelong Road, Footscray

Blending classic period charm with thoughtful modern upgrades, this circa 1910 single-level weatherboard residence presents an inviting opportunity for downsizers, young couples or individuals seeking a connected inner-city lifestyle in the heart of Footscray.

Behind its timeless façade, the home showcases beautifully preserved period features including high ceilings, decorative ceiling roses, original skirting boards and decorative fireplaces, complemented by timber floorboards through the hallway and both bedrooms. These features create warmth and charm while supporting comfortable everyday living.

A recently renovated solid timber kitchen features tiled flooring, gas cooktop, electric oven and integrated Miele dishwasher providing both functionality and style. Two generous bedrooms feature new floor-to-ceiling built-in robes, with the front bedroom benefiting from thermally efficient and sound-reducing double-glazed windows. Fujitsu split-system air conditioning services both bedrooms, while a built-in study or book nook in the second bedroom adds valuable flexibility. The tiled bathroom is supported by a modern built-in laundry with cabinetry, folding space, washing machine provision and an integrated broom cupboard.

Outdoors, a rear alfresco area and garden provide a peaceful retreat, enhanced by side access, rear laneway access and a secure double garage with power and ample storage.

Perfectly positioned along one of Footscray’s key corridors, on a slip lane off Geelong Road, the home enjoys immediate access to the Footscray Market, Highpoint Shopping Centre, and the village precincts of Yarraville and Seddon. Footscray Park, the Maribyrnong River Trail, Newell’s Paddock and nearby reserves offer extensive outdoor recreation, while education options include Footscray Primary and High Schools, St John’s and St Monica’s Catholic Primary Schools, and Victoria University. Healthcare is well serviced by the newly built Footscray Hospital, Western Private Hospital and all other amenities at your doorstep. Excellent transport links include bus routes along Geelong Road, Tram Route 82 and with fast CBD access via Footscray Station and the nearby Veloway cycling corridor.
