Heritage charm meets thoroughly modern living in this Edwardian weatherboard home in the heart of Newtown’s prized private school zone.
Character features abound at the front of the house, highlighted by leadlight panels, original fireplaces, high ceilings, polished timber floors and ornate breezeway fretwork.
Three double bedrooms off the wide hallway are a perfect fit for a family, all boasting generous built-in robes and plantation shutters to welcome the light.
A fourth, larger room can be used as a formal lounge room, extra bedroom, study/office or even a home theatre.
A modern, light-filled extension at the rear of the property caters for everyday family needs, with the light and bright timber kitchen overlooking a large open-plan area with room for dining and lounge suites, a TV area and space for kids to play.
When it’s time to entertain, French doors lead from the family room onto a wrap-around deck and sunny, private garden.
It’s a perfect area for summer barbecues, with the established Robinia tree providing welcome shade and the productive lemon tree supplying the ingredients for cocktails or homemade lemonade.
Newtown’s top schools are within an easy walk, including The Geelong College, Sacred Heart College and St Joseph’s College, plus St John’s Lutheran School, as well as highly regarded Newtown Primary School.
The property is also only a few minutes’ stroll to the Woolworths supermarket on Shannon Ave, popular cafes, the vibrant Pakington St district and the tennis courts and playground at Kenwith Park.
Other key features include a double, lock-up garage with room for a workshop, accessed off a lane at the rear, ducted heating, evaporative cooling, security system, full central bathroom with clawfoot bath and frameless shower, huge laundry and loads of storage options. There’s even room to house a boat or caravan in the generous driveway.
Move right in and enjoy the local lifestyle.
