The pint-sized house in Geelong’s waterfront precinct offers more space than meets the eye.
Multiple buyers chasing a downsizer on Geelong’s waterfront made a grab for a renovated parkside house with bay views.
The three-bedroom character home at 144 Corio Street, Geelong sold for $1.325m after attracting about 70 groups during the campaign.
McGrath, Geelong agent Jim Cross said three or four buyers were in the hunt for the two-storey residence that was much bigger than it appeared.

The new owner will enjoy views across the park to Corio Bay.
“It was the ideal downsizer for someone that wanted to downsize but didn’t want to move into an apartment lifestyle,” Mr Cross said.
“It’s still a house on its own title, with rear lane access.
“In some ways it’s the perfect location because you have a bay view but you are set back from Eastern Beach Road so it’s quieter.”
The main living room faces the park.
The best of the city is on your doorstep.
He said the vendors had done a meticulous job renovating the weatherboard house from the ground up.
An open-plan living zone at the front of the ground floor makes the most of the bay views to the north while a rumpus room, with a kitchenette and video projection system, provides a second living space upstairs.
The property comes with a double carport, separate storage garage and raised vegetable garden beds.
Both bathrooms have been renovated with floor-to-ceiling tiles.
The property has a kid and pet-friendly backyard.
“It was beautifully presented and meticulously renovated,” Mr Cross said.
“The home was actually bigger than it looked from the front.”
