A Quiet Newstead Classic, Reimagined for Modern Living
Set within a quiet and highly sought-after pocket of Newstead, this classic 1960s red brick home has an inviting presence from the street. Inside, glimpses of its mid-century character remain, thoughtfully balanced with a series of considered updates that bring a fresh, modern ease to everyday living.
High-quality double glazed windows and new wool carpets create a warm, refined and welcoming interior. Step into the dining area and a lush, leafy outlook takes centre stage, with a magnificent magnolia tree framing the brilliant large rear deck that leads directly from the room and draws you naturally outside. Here, the pace of life softens. Surrounded by greenery and the gentle chorus of birdlife, the garden feels like a private sanctuary, with the occasional visit from a resident grey goshawk adding a touch of quiet wonder. Generous in scale, the deck offers a beautiful setting for entertaining in numbers and in style, or simply slowing down with a morning coffee as the garden comes to life around you. It is a rare sense of calm and retreat, all within minutes of the city.
Offering up to four bedrooms overall, the home provides comfortable accommodation for families of all sizes. Downstairs, a series of flexible spaces opens up valuable potential for multigenerational living. With its own separate bathroom, brand new kitchenette and secondary entrance, this lower level is ideal for extended family, teenagers or visiting guests.
Year-round comfort is assured with a cosy built-in wood heater, complemented by a heat pump with a heat transfer system. A generous single car garage with internal access adds everyday convenience, while the substantial storage area beneath the home presents an excellent opportunity for a workshop or hobby space.
Positioned on a 951m² block, the home sits within an easy 850m walk of Scotch Oakburn senior school. Parks, cafés and the Newstead shopping precinct are also close by, and with friendly, welcoming neighbours, this is a street where it's easy to feel at home from day one.
A home of quiet character, natural beauty and genuine flexibility, this is a rare opportunity to secure a place in one of Newstead's most tightly held enclaves.
