Unparalleled character and craftsmanship

Perfectly located in the heart of leafy Newtown and just steps to Geelong College, Sacred Heart and Geelong Grammar’s Bostock House, this unique family home embodies all that the Arts & Crafts movement represented and really must been seen in person to fully appreciate.

Grab yourself a coffee from one of the many amazing cafés Pakington Street has to offer, take a stroll around the corner and come see for yourself. If you’ve got young ones, perhaps even walk past Chilwell Primary or St Roberts to see how far they WON’T have to walk to school!

Beyond the incredibly impressive façade, the grand foyer immediately sets a tone of pure magnificence, featuring stunning brown oak columns and exposed ceiling beams, leadlight windows and an overall level of craftsmanship often desired but seldom found.

To your immediate left and cleverly located away from the kids’ bedrooms, your generous Master Bedroom boasts a sizable BIR and ensuite and will ensure a quiet exit for the early riser. Moving back through the foyer delivers you to the Lounge featuring a gas-log fire, a perfect break-out space for Mum and Dad. The adjoining dining is exceptionally large and also features a gas-log fire, creating a divine setting for intimate dinners with friends. A bay window with built-in bench seating would be the ideal place to relax with a book or magazine in the morning sun.

With line-of-sight to the dining, living and outdoors, your well-appointed kitchen features 900mm SMEG oven and cooktop, stone benchtops, handy breakfast bar and WIP.

Moving through to the Living at the rear, it’s likely that the kids will take over this space given the proximity to their bedrooms. They each have BIR and are serviced by a central bathroom with separate toilet. Extending beautifully by glass sliding doors onto the outdoor entertaining area, the kids will enjoy running in and out and you’ll enjoy the indoor/outdoor entertaining capability. Internal bi-fold doors lead to your dedicated light-filled home office, perfect for those who work from home or for kids to complete their homework.

Stepping outside onto the considerable outdoor entertaining area complete with built-in BBQ and marine-grade cabinetry, hosting family and friends will likely become a regular occurrence as they remind you that ‘your place is just perfect’. Providing elevated oversight of your lush lawn area, you’ll be able to enjoy yourself while keeping a watchful eye on little ones. Perfect.

Last but not least, you’ll appreciate having loads of off-street parking behind your remote electric gate, with a multi-purpose garage/gym that (again) the kids might take over. Being walking distance to all that Newtown offers, you might find yourself not using your car so often anyway. A store room helps tuck away your tools and wares and keep that garage clutter free.

So go on, grab that coffee and walk up to our inspection; we look forward to welcoming you home.
