Overview

Effortless Riverside Living

In a suburb as tightly held as Newtown, opportunities of this calibre are few and far between. Occupying a desirable corner block of approximately 549sqm with a prized north-facing rear yard, this impeccably maintained four-bedroom brick home delivers the very best of single-storey living in one of Geelong's most sought-after and prestigious addresses. From the moment you arrive, the home makes a confident impression. A beautifully maintained cream brick facade framed by a meticulously kept garden and flora in full bloom, sets an inviting tone that carries throughout. Inside, a thoughtful and liveable floorplan unfolds across two generous living areas, four well-proportioned bedrooms and a designer kitchen that is the true heart of the home. Rich timber floorboards flow through the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, a light drenched family hub that connects seamlessly to the alfresco and north-facing rear yard via sliding doors. A split-system air conditioner in the dining area ensures effortless year-round comfort, while generous windows frame a lush garden outlook that floods the space with natural light throughout the day. The beautifully appointed kitchen pairs a suite of premium Miele appliances including a gas cooktop, oven and dishwasher with sleek white handle-less cabinetry, an expansive benchtop and generous pantry storage. A garden-facing window above the sink bathes the space in natural light, making even everyday tasks a pleasure. A separate lounge equally light-filled, with rich timber floorboards and venetian blinds delivers a truly generous second living space for formal entertaining, relaxed family evenings or a dedicated retreat. A room of this proportion in a home of this calibre is a genuine luxury rarely found. The master bedroom is a serene private retreat, featuring a walk-in robe, plantation shutters, quality carpet and a well-appointed tiled ensuite. Three further bedrooms each with built-in robes are serviced by a second bathroom with separate shower and toilet zones. A separate laundry and linen cupboard complete a well-considered and functional interior. Step outside to the north-facing rear yard, a sun-drenched and private outdoor sanctuary is framed by established trees and a generous tiled alfresco. Two outdoor sheds provide ample additional storage, while the double carport and adjacent undercover storage ensure exceptional vehicle accommodation and storage flexibility. Set in the heart of one of Geelong's most prestigious and tightly held suburbs, this address speaks for itself. The Barwon River and its scenic walking trails are just moments away, as are Balyang Golf Course and lush local parklands, a lifestyle of ease and convenience at every turn. Some of Geelong's finest schools are close at hand, while Pakington Street's celebrated café culture and boutique shopping and the everyday convenience of Highton Village are both a short drive away. - Four-bedroom single-storey brick home on a corner block - Prized north-facing rear yard and alfresco - Beautifully maintained cream brick facade with established trees and flora - Rich timber floorboards throughout living, dining and kitchen areas - Open-plan living and dining with split-system air conditioning - Kitchen with premium Miele appliances and ample storage - Generous Master bedroom with walk-in robe, venetian blinds and tiled ensuite - Double carport with adjacent undercover storage
