1 Melville Avenue, Newtown VIC 3220

Step into your own family sanctuary overlooking the Barwon River and Queens Park with this high-end five-bedroom plus study, three-bathroom home on a 1487 sqm (approx.) block.
Behind an unassuming façade is a hidden gem in the heart of Newtown’s prized private school zone and minutes from the lifestyle perks of riverside living.
The architect-designed property has been custom-built as an ultimate, much-loved family home.
Spread over three levels, it provides abundant space for a large family to spread out or entertain.
Get-togethers with family and friends are a breeze with the substantial block boasting an entertainment-friendly, north-facing lawn area, in-ground trampoline, meticulously maintained native gardens, and spectacular river and garden views.
The entry level houses a light-filled family kitchen, dining and living zone to take in the river views, along with a spacious formal lounge and dining room, study, and master bedroom suite.
Upstairs are three generous bedrooms, while the lower level boasts a perfect teen or guest retreat with a billiard room/rumpus room, another large bedroom, plus family-size laundry.
Other highlights include bathrooms on every level, built-in robes in the bedrooms, walk-in robe and ensuite in the master, double garage with large workshop, security system and intercom, ducted vacuuming, loads of storage and extra off-street parking with room for a boat or caravan.
The property is an easy walk to St Joseph’s College, The Geelong College and Sacred Heart College, while a wealth of shopping and dining options await on Shannon Ave and Pakington Street. Or enjoy a row on the Barwon River, tee off at Queens Park Golf Course and spot wildlife at Balyang Sanctuary.
And it’s all less than a 10-minute drive from Geelong Railway Station, the waterfront and CBD.
This is truly a family oasis in a prime pocket of Geelong.
