• Quiet living area with a gas-log fire, combined kitchen/meals and a sun-soaked entertainer’s yard

• Steps to cafés, restaurants, bars, shops, schools, and trains for easy city access

As exceptional a lifestyle opportunity as Newport has to offer, this ‘40s charmer-turned family retreat delivers quiet, refined, low-maintenance living with impressive proportions and convenience that’s simply second to none.

Behind a white-picket fence, manicured box hedge and front garden with room for a car securely off-street, an inviting interior promotes comfort from the outset courtesy of a tasteful transformation, while details in hardwood floors, picture rails, sash windows and high, Art Deco-style ceilings work to accentuate period appeal. Excellent robe space and a chic bathroom with large-format tiles from floor to ceiling and a timber-and-stone vanity serve substantial main and guest bedrooms, while a central dining room doubles as a third bedroom to cater for the growing family.

Perfect for cosy nights by the fireside, a tranquil front lounge is the ideal counterpart to an oversized kitchen with extensive storage and an integrated second meals zone, while privacy, all-day sun, and lush gardens enliven morning coffees, after-hours drinks and Sunday barbecues in a broad backyard.

With nothing needing to be done but move in, live comfortably, personalise and lay down roots, other highlights include comprehensive heating and cooling, plantation shutters, a gas-log-converted fireplace, dedicated workshop and combined laundry/powder room (second WC).

Why you’ll love this location:

With endless amenity meaning a car is so rarely needed, it’s no more than a short stroll to parks and sporting fields, the serene expanses of Newport Lakes Reserve and outstanding coffee, thriving nightlife, diverse cuisine and shopping options across lifestyle hubs in Mason Street and Melbourne Road.

The local golf course, scenic seaside and acclaimed Newport Lakes Primary, Bayside P-12 College (both zoned) and Sacred Heart Primary are close by, while Newport Station and the West Gate Freeway ensure city commutes are quick and easy.
