Newtown modern classic on one of the best streets in Geelong
A complete renewal of this Victorian beauty has restored the historic home to its former glory and also added a modern twist.
The Newtown gem at 39 Virginia St was unliveable when the vendors bought it about nine years ago, Whitford director Dale Whitford said.
They transformed the property into an expansive, contemporary family abode that maintained its heritage charm.

It’s now on the market with a $3.2-$3.5 million price guide.
Period features gleam throughout, including timber floorboards, marble mantels, intricate cornice work and extensive etched glass decorating the property.
A glass hallway links the traditional front of the house with the modern, open-plan extension.
The space includes a stone-topped kitchen with two ovens, a butler’s pantry and an open fireplace.
“They extended the house in an L-shape, so the living area and kitchen all faced north,” Mr Whitford said.
“It’s a wide, tree-lined street that is considered one of the best in Geelong and this is an opportunity for somebody who wants to live along it.”
Other highlights of the single-level luxury home include its five bedrooms with walk-in wardrobes, an executive study and a large backyard lawn.
The expansive 1003sq m block is for private sale.
