Luxury home with views thrills on Geelong’s other waterfront

The substantial living, dining and kitchen area steps out to a first-floor balcony facing the water.

New South Wales buyers have pounced on a luxury, four-bedroom two storey townhouse on Geelong’s tightly-held North Shore.

Maxwell Collins, Geelong agent Duncan Skene said the view was the key attractions for the buyers at 33B The Esplanade, North Shore, who were relocating to be closer to family.

But he said the value of the substantial residence was incredible for a home with such a view.

Mr Skene said he couldn’t reveal the sale price, but revealed it was within the $1.425m to $1.525m range.

Geelong suburbs where sellers home prices hold or fold revealed

The four-bedroom townhouse at 33B The Esplanade, North Shore, sold for more than $1.4m.

Records show it’s the fourth most-expensive home to sell in the tightly-held northern suburb.

The North Shore residence overlooks Corio Bay with an incredible view across the water to Geelong’s burgeoning waterfront.

The only catch for some is the suburb is surrounded with industry.

But Mr Skene said even that is no longer such an impediment for buyers, with other potential purchasers looking for a higher-end home close to their place of work.

“Other people were just looking to relocate and just wanted something with a bit of a view, but maybe not the higher price tag of Eastern Beach,” Mr Skene said.

Stone waterfront benchtops and a Smeg freestanding cooker feature in the designer kitchen.

The first-floor balcony offers a panoramic view across Corio Bay and Moorpanyal Park.

The home offers premium finishes such as square-set ceilings, a designer kitchen with stone waterfall benchtops and Smeg appliances, double glazed windows and stacking glass doors that open the main living area to a full width balcony overlooking the water.

The expansive upstairs living area is ideal for entertaining or just relaxing while enjoying the stunning outlook towards the Geelong CBD.

The home’s lavish main bedroom suite offers a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite with a dual shower, complemented by a stylish powder room.

Three more bedrooms on the ground floor offer built-in wardrobes and share a sleek bathroom and a generous family room that opens onto a rear deck and sun-drenched, north-facing back yard.

The main bedroom includes a panoramic rear north-facing window.

The main bedroom suite includes a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite.

The home has full airconditioning, a security system, landscaped gardens, and a remote-controlled double garage with internal access.

The double-storey townhouses were developed after the original home last sold in 2017 for $1.175m, having been in the same family for more than 40 years.

The suburb’s most expensive home nearby sold for $3.4m in 2022 and has been a target for families with students studying at nearby Geelong Grammar School.

Homes are substantially cheaper than similar properties along Geelong’s Eastern Beach, where the most recent sale, a two-storey heritage terrace house at 34 Eastern Beach sold for $3.5m in 2024.
