From the street, it’s the kind of home that makes you slow down for a moment.
A picket fence. Established gum trees. Gardens that soften everything around them. The sort of setting that already feels familiar before you’ve even stepped inside.
Beyond the front gate, the home carries that same warmth. Period character sits comfortably alongside spaces that adapt to the way life actually unfolds. Three bedrooms sit within the main layout, while a fourth room easily shifts between guest room, dining space or an additional living zone depending on what the week requires.
A separate study gives you a quiet place to focus when work calls, while the main living area becomes the natural place everyone ends up. It’s relaxed, generous and made for evenings that stretch longer than planned.
At the centre, the kitchen keeps its original character, anchored by a chef’s freestanding stainless steel oven set within the old chimney. It’s the kind of detail that reminds you this home has lived a life before you arrived.
Outside, the home opens to alfresco dining and a backyard that can be accessed from both the front driveway and rear lane. Space that invites long lunches, late evenings and the kind of gatherings that slowly become tradition.
Then there’s Newport itself. Mornings that begin with coffee along Vernon Street. Walks through Newport Lakes. Weekends that move between the village, the waterfront, cycling trails and the beach at Williamstown.
A home that carries warmth, character and the kind of flexibility that simply makes life work.
