23 Tait Street, Newport VIC 3015

An ensuite is a winner in any family abode, but this clever free-standing home goes one step further with a private master balcony in its intelligent floorplan. Positioned in a superb, convenient location, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence offers a lifestyle of ease, with no body corporate and secure off-street parking.

Whether you fancy jumping on the train for the quick 20-minute ride to the city or the three-minute jaunt to Williamstown Beach, or appreciate having eateries and shops at your fingertips, there's an undeniable ease in having Newport Train Station and Hall Street's buzz, including wine bars, delis, shops, post office and pubs, just a minute's walk around the corner.

At home, a sense of uncomplicated comfort endures. The welcoming undercover porch sets the scene and inside the breezy layout features two large, light separate living areas adjoined by a modern open-plan kitchen. The main living area's French doors open into the sunny paved courtyard: a low-fuss area which is perfect now but also has the appealing potential to be invigorated. Beautiful honey timber floors, a laundry room, separate toilet, storage and a secure single lock-up garage and parking for two cars complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, chic grey carpet evokes a cosy feel to this discerning family-friendly setup. A landing flows into the three bright bedrooms, including the main bathroom with a bathtub and shower and the benefit of another separate toilet. The main bedroom, boasting the rare treat of the secluded balcony, along with a slick white ensuite, seals the deal.

A low-maintenance, pristine and appealing home, there's the exciting capacity to add your own style, flair and value, or simply move in and enjoy this family-friendly, trendy neighborhood.
