3 Maddox Road, Newport VIC 3015

Originality means possibility – and the phrase applies perfectly to this two bedroom property and its substantial, seriously tempting allotment measuring some 570m2 in a prime position just a moment or two from Mason Street and Newport Lakes Reserve. Remarkably un-renovated during a history that dates from the mid century era, today's spaces reveal a readiness for their next phase, whether that looks like renovation, replacement or re-development, STCA. Each scenario is certain to deliver rich rewards.

The high ceilings and traditional proportions of the living room are matched by the classic style and size of a separate family room or dining space adjacent to the kitchen where the lino flooring, the cabinetry, the surfaces and the mood are authentically retro. Two double bedrooms, each with built-in robes, and a bathroom that's similarly reflective of its era confirm the rarity of a home that's survived intact and unchanged for several generations.

Beyond the indoor spaces, a rear garden reaches to a significant extent, a garden shed and a backdrop to a parkland reserve. The 50.6m approx. depth behind a street frontage measuring 12.3m approximately, with ample side drive car parking, illustrates the sense of scope that accompanies this hugely tempting address, primed to provide a blank canvas for applying contemporary beauty when so desired.
