24 Curlew Cres, Norlane VIC 3214
renovated 2020 weatherboard | 641m² block | original 3-bed layout | tenanted at $360-$390pw | walk to Norlane station
This house has been comprehensively renovated in 2020 and is presented in move-in-ready condition, which is less common across the suburb’s older stock. The 641m² block is considered larger than many local parcels, and the original three-bedroom layout can be restored with minimal effort, giving the property flexibility for both family use and resale. A current tenancy is in place, so immediate rental income is secured for an investor buyer, while an owner-occupier may reasonably wait out the lease or restore the third bedroom before moving in. With weatherboard cladding, floorboards, split-system cooling and heating, and a fully fenced yard, the property is positioned as a practical, low-maintenance suburban house within walking distance of the train station.
The two-bedroom configuration may give some buyers pause when comparing against three-bedroom peers, and the current tenancy might limit those seeking immediate occupation. Restoration of the third bedroom is understood to be straightforward, though the cost of that work should be weighed against the scheduled rent increase. The 2020 renovation likely sets a quality floor, but the property’s final price may be shaped more by how buyers interpret the flexible layout and land size than by the finishes alone.

Norlane remains one of Geelong’s most affordable entry points, with house medians from $464,000 to $494,000 across recent sources. Annual house growth is positive but mixed, at 5.07% to 8.26%; units have outperformed at 11.35–17.09%. Houses sell in 27–34 days. Investors and first-home buyers drive demand, attracted by gross yields of 4.5–4.63% for houses and 4.7–4.98% for units, with weekly rents around $400–$410. Proximity to shopping, transport and major employers supports activity. Unit price growth is notably stronger than houses, implying tight supply in that segment. Vacancy and supply data were not reported; future growth hinges on continued employment and infrastructure investment.
