Nestled in a peaceful pocket of Newtown on a coveted corner site, this beautiful period home presents an exceptional opportunity for downsizers, first-home buyers and investors alike.

A quaint verandah and leafy front garden make a charming first impression. Indoors reveal soaring ceilings, original timber floorboards and stylish plantation shutters, which elevate the chic interiors that are filled with an abundance of natural light. A central living area offers an inviting space to relax at the end of the day and adjoins the combined kitchen/dining zone. The well-equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances (dishwasher, SMEG oven and 4-burner gas cooktop), a built-in pantry and ample bench space. You'll love that French doors open onto a large alfresco deck and rear yard for seamless indoor/outdoor living. This setting will become a favourite spot to enjoy a vino in the afternoon sunshine and entertain loved ones for weekend BBQs.

Accommodation consists of three great-sized bedrooms (all have built-in robes), with one retaining the original brick fireplace. The spacious bathroom, with electric underfloor heating, has been updated to reflect a contemporary aesthetic, and here, you can unwind and soak in the indulgent oval bathtub. A laundry with external access and a second toilet complete the layout. Ducted heating, multiple ceiling fans, and a split-system air conditioner ensure optimal comfort year-round. Easy-care gardens ensure a low-maintenance lifestyle. The single remote carport provides secure off-street parking, while a garden shed caters to additional storage needs.

This prized Newtown address places you a short stroll from Elderslie Recreation Reserve while you are just moments from a selection of Geelong's finest schools. Excellent access to boutiques and dining options along both Pakington Street and Shannon Avenue. Approx. 10-minute drive from the CBD, while easy access to the Ring Road will suit Melbourne commuters.

Potential rent return at $530 - $550 per week.
