259 Douglas Parade, Newport VIC 3015

The classic appeal of its period proportions and the indoor-outdoor focus of its modern dimensions demonstrate the success with which this desirably located double fronted Edwardian has moved with the times. Three generous bedrooms line a traditional hall that retains its original fretwork and leads to a central living room where northern light bounces off beautiful Baltic pine floorboards. To the rear, bright living and dining areas accompanied by an open-plan kitchen with a walk-in pantry precede a backdrop where dual decks – one under-cover, the other basking in the sun – enjoy a TV wall that makes entertaining unforgettable. A bathroom featuring a claw-foot bath and a sky-lit separate laundry add to the indoor appeal while the garden’s substantial carport and extra parking complete a fantastic outdoor picture.
