A four-bedroom home listed for just $780,000 in Geelong’s inner west may sound like a dream come true, but a closer look at the floor plan reveals an unusual catch.
With most four-bedroom properties in the area listed for at least $1.3 million, the Newtown house seems like a steal.
And that may be the case, if you don’t mind a few key amenities missing.

The home’s floor plan includes an odd detail of having four bedrooms but no main bathroom or kitchen area.
Advertised as “the ultimate restoration project”, the home is described as a property of “pure potential” and ready for someone to make it their own.
Despite having fire damage to the back of the home, the Upper Skene St address boasts character details that can be brought back to life.
“The weatherboard Edwardian facade is still predominately intact, with soaring ceilings and ornate fireplaces featured in the front of the home,” Buxton Real Estate said.
“There’s no doubt that these period details will inspire your future plans.”
Located in a “superb” location, the home lies in the heart of Newtown’s coveted school zone, with a raft of private colleges and public school options moments away.
Shopping centres and walking trails are also close within reach, and the heart of Geelong is just a short drive away.
