Barwon Heads 58 Newbay Close

At first glance you would be forgiven for believing that this Victorian home was built in a bygone era and lovingly restored. The truth is that it is just ten years old but the thought and workmanship that have gone into the construction are not only completely convincing, they are the work of master craftsmen. When you manage to drag yourself away from the splendid cottage façade and into the traditional central passageway, you are torn between looking down at the stunning polished strip timber flooring and up at the exquisitely moulded cornicing on the high ceilings.

Each of the 3 bedrooms at the front of the home are in keeping with the period and generously sized but the modern twist on the design begins to become apparent with the WIR and ensuite to the master and BIRs to the remaining. An enormous family bathroom down the hall cleverly incorporates a huge concealed laundry with access to the outside utility area via French doors that make the room feel very Eurpoean at the same time as being classically decorated.

At the rear of the home is the large open plan living space with a state of the art kitchen that blends beautifully into its environment with features such as black polished surfaces, polished steel and top quality appliances. Aspiring master chefs will be more than happy here! The timber flooring continues through the lounge/dining area with its reverse cycle heating/cooling complimenting the solid fuel and central heating. Wired for surround sound with great acoustic qualities, this is the perfect space for relaxing with a good movie in the cooler months whilst the outdoor room is ideal for enjoying the warmer months.

Decked and covered with mature gardens surrounding it, the alfresco is so much more than just a pergola... it is a proper outside living area leading onto the lawn where a gently burbling water feature and bold, yet truly peaceful garden structure separates the restful from the productive as behind here is a superb vegetable garden fed by a water tank with further raised beds in the side yard behind the double carport in front of the single garage.

This is a home to truly feel 'at home' in with farmland behind, the river just a short walk away and the trendy shopping strip just down the road. The iconic 13th beach is also close by and central Geelong within easy reach. All in all, there is nothing to do but enjoy this property.
