2 - 4 Layton Crescent, Newtown VIC 3220

Located in a premier pocket of Newtown, this residence presents resort-style living upon two titles of 1800m2. The luscious grounds create a private sanctuary with a tennis court and swimming pool/spa zone, while this exclusive location enjoys the ambience of the bordering The Heights Heritage House and Gardens.

Architect designed and built by renowned late builder Barry Bell, you’ll be swept away the moment you lay eyes on this grand family home. Soaring ceilings enhance the timeless interiors, which exude luxury with European Oak parquetry flooring and Travertine tiling. The spacious layout establishes a beautiful indoor-outdoor connection, with French doors opening onto the pool and surrounding gardens.

The living room flows into the open plan dining/kitchen zone via bi-fold doors, establishing the lively heart of the home. The kitchen showcases stone benchtops, an integrated fridge and stainless steel appliances (900mm electric cooktop, NEFF wall oven, ASKO dishwasher). The front lounge and formal dining room create an elegant setting for relaxation, while the Theatre Room is perfect for family movie nights by the fire.

The front wing creates a heavenly Master Retreat, featuring a bedroom with built-in robes and a lavish bathroom. Three upstairs bedrooms boast built-in robes, and there are two additional bathrooms draped in marble. The north-facing study is complemented by a separate home studio to create a flexible layout for those working from home or double as a gym or fifth bedroom.

When it comes to outdoor living options, this property leaves you spoilt for choice. Why not invite loved ones over for a meal cooked on the inbuilt Weber BBQ while the kids play in the pool? Or enjoy evening drinks on the alfresco deck, where you have a front-row seat to the latest tennis match? The pool features a gas-heated spa, while the tennis court will impress with state-of-the-art LED lighting. Maintaining the gardens is a breeze thanks to 20,000L of rainwater storage and automated irrigation system. Off-street parking is provided for four vehicles, including a remote double garage with internal access.
