Newtown 5 Miles Street

Extraordinarily Out of the Ordinary!


Floorplan

This property is not for the lover of conventional; it is not for the 'ordinary', it IS for the purchaser who craves something different, exciting and just a little bit eclectic! This property is absolutely unique in the most appealing way; it has personality, style and a sense of 'home' that is truly beguiling.

Much larger than it first appears, the proportions of the original late 20's construction are ample (as one would expect of such an opulent era in an affluent suburb), but they have also been replicated in the 1990s extension that transformed this into a home that better reflects the needs of a modern family.

A total of 5 bedrooms each enjoy features such as timber flooring, high ceilings and leafy garden views. Two light filled bathrooms ensure that each member of the family is adequately accommodated for bathing and the storage offered via BIR's is completely unexpected of a period home.

The kitchen is an inspired use of space in the centre of the home that utilises every square inch of the original galley effectively with an ingenious return area offering additional bench space, broom closet and concealed recycling depot. Complete with brand new Miele oven and dishwasher plus a Blanco induction cooktop, small appliances cupboard and abundant pantry, the outlook over the green hue of a mature garden make this a completely relaxed and functional work space.

Leading through to the dining hall and further beyond to the main, elevated living area, the flow is easy and provides the perfect entertaining space, especially when you consider the decked alfresco and balconies that are accessed from either end of these rooms. Offering views to the hills of the Bellarine Peninsula in the distance atop the lights of Geelong and Highton, the expanse of a city that you somehow feel quite isolated from within your private oasis, is also beautifully visible.

It is difficult to give this property the credit it deserves with words alone, but features such as French doors, leadlight windows, timber and black slate lend credence to the inviting warmth that this home exudes. The floorplan is actually perfectly designed for family use and allows the more creative among us to immerse themselves in a comfort they would unlikely feel in a new build or contemporary home. Here, a person can express themselves in their own individual way, ensuring that this property does really feel like home.

A fully fitted home office, library and lower level rumpus room provide all of the more practical and leisurely elements that make for a comfortable life whilst being spoilt for choice as far as lifestyle is concerned. Within walking distance of a plethora of excellent, top quality schools, shops, cafes and restaurants but in a quiet street in the heart of Newtown, you are sure to feel like the luckiest family alive not only the first time, but also every subsequent time you place the key in the lock of this...your new home.
