Overview

Exceptional Landholding & Rare Rear Access in the Heart of Newtown

Positioned in one of Newtown's most tightly held and prestigious pockets, this substantial five-bedroom family residence presents an outstanding opportunity to secure a generous home on a sizeable allotment with the added bonus of valuable rear access. Offering immediate comfort while presenting enormous scope to renovate, extend or create something truly special (STCA), this is a property where location and future potential combine perfectly. Behind its charming character façade lies a home designed with family living in mind. Generous proportions, soaring ceilings, original period features and multiple living spaces provide a warm and welcoming environment, while the flexible floorplan caters effortlessly to growing families, home businesses or those simply seeking extra space. The home offers five spacious bedrooms, allowing room for every member of the family, while the multiple living areas provide excellent separation for both everyday living and entertaining. Original kitchen and bathrooms, there's plenty of room to add value and modernise to your style. Stepping outside, you'll discover one of the property's greatest assets, a substantial backyard offering endless possibilities. Whether you're dreaming of extending the existing home, adding a swimming pool, constructing additional shedding, or simply enjoying the space as it is, the generous allotment provides incredible flexibility for years to come (STCA). A true standout feature is the rare rear lane access, offering exceptional convenience for secure parking of multiple vehicles, boats, caravans or trailers. Opportunities to secure land with this level of accessibility in Newtown are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Beyond the property itself, the location is second to none. Enjoy an enviable lifestyle just moments from the vibrant Pakington Street shopping and café precinct, where some of Geelong's finest restaurants, cafés, wine bars and boutique shopping await. The Geelong CBD, picturesque waterfront, Geelong Train Station and GMHBA Stadium are all only minutes away, while some of Victoria's most highly regarded schools—including The Geelong College, St Joseph's College, Sacred Heart College, St John Lutheran and Newtown Primary School all within easy reach. Whether you're looking to move straight in and enjoy the home as it stands, undertake a renovation, create your dream family residence or capitalise on the generous landholding and rear access, this is a blue-chip Newtown opportunity that offers both lifestyle and long-term value. *All information about the property has been provided to Hayeswinckle by third parties.
