Overview

Californian Charm in Tightly Held Newtown

Enjoying a tightly held Newtown address, this charming Californian bungalow balances timeless character with relaxed, light-filled living. A beautiful façade sets the scene, while high ceilings and decorative cornices in the original part of the home speak to its era. At the rear, a bright extension floods the home with natural light, creating a wonderful sense of space and a connection to the outdoors. Open-plan living unfolds beneath a pitched cedar ceiling, with expansive garden outlooks anchored by a majestic gum tree. Sliding doors open to a paved alfresco area and rear yard, an ideal spot for entertaining family and friends while the kids play on the lawn. The functional kitchen is appointed with quality appliances, a built-in pantry and breakfast bar, seamlessly connecting everyday living with the surrounding spaces. A second lounge positioned at the front of the home creates a private retreat to unwind. Tree-lined streets and a strong community feel define this neighbourhood, and the home sits within Newtown's coveted school zone. Families will love having Fyans Park Primary School, St Joseph's College, Sacred Heart College and The Geelong College all within easy walking distance. Begin the morning with a walk along the picturesque Barwon River, then stroll to Pakington Street's cafés, restaurants and boutiques.
