384 Shannon Avenue, Newtown, Vic 3220

On the doorstep of parks, top schools and a short hop to Geelong’s premier shopping strips and the Barwon River, this classy renovated property offering multiple living spaces is a dream family home.

Style and space are a focus throughout, providing room for family and guests to spread out with a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living zone, wraparound alfresco deck, formal lounge, upstairs parents’ retreat with living room and three further bedrooms on the ground floor.

The downstairs family area opens out to the undercover outdoor entertaining space with the northerly aspect welcoming plenty of natural light into the home. The chef’s kitchen, fitted out with high-end appliances, features abundant storage with butler’s pantry, stone countertops, an island bench with breakfast bar for casual dining and a servery window to the alfresco area. The combined dining and living area ensures space for more formal dining, entertaining and relaxation. Step away from the living hub for quiet time in the formal lounge with gas log fire at the front of the home.

All the downstairs bedrooms include built-in robes and easy access to a central bathroom with a bath and shower. For convenience there’s also a separate powder room.

The private parents’ area upstairs features a spacious master bedroom with huge walk-in robe/dressing room, living room that could double as a home office and an ensuite with double vanities, walk-in shower and soaker tub.

Other highlights include central heating, split-system heating/cooling, striking timber floors, period features and a separate laundry.

A triple garage accessed off a rear lane and the generous 663sqm (approx.) allotment provide for off-street parking for cars, a boat, caravan or trailer. Nearby schools include St Joseph’s College, Sacred Heart College and Geelong College with the home zoned to Belmont High, Matthews Flinders Girls’ Secondary College and Fyans Park Primary.

For weekend leisure time, choose from an array of local ovals, stroll or cycle riverside tracks, tee off at Queens Park golf course or visit Balyang Sanctuary.
