LAND SIZE 753M2
Graced with the rare privilege of absolute Barwon River frontage, this immaculate family home in prime Newtown will impress at every turn. This tranquil and scenic riverside hideaway is one of Geelong?s secret treasures, and now, after 42 years within the same family, it can be yours. Set on a generous 753 sqm (approx.) block, anything is possible here: why not extend upstairs to create a parents? retreat with expansive river views, start again from scratch, or capitalise on this hot location with townhouses (STCA).
Bask in the deep peacefulness and tranquillity that comes hand-in-hand with life at this address. This gorgeous location reveals its gems afresh each day, as if for you: listen to the birds greeting the morning sun while the light glistens on the ripples of the river; or catch the sunset tinting the trees in the late afternoon. Miles of walking trails are yours to enjoy, as is the boat ramp, located less than 200m (approx.) from your front door. Kids will love the wide open space for kicking the footy and riding their bikes, and with grassy areas aplenty for picnics or the Barwon Edge Boathouse close by for coffee and lunch, life by the river is something the whole family can enjoy.

With Fyans Park Kindergarten and Primary School only minutes away, you can forget the car and walk to school! Regular public transport gives teens access to Newtown private colleges. With the CBD only 11 minutes (approx.) away, you?re an easy drive from the heart of Geelong.
