181 Skene Street, Newtown, Vic 3220

Beautifully renovated and designed for families who love to entertain, this character filled Californian Bungalow combines timeless period features with generous modern living and an outstanding poolside entertaining zone.
From polished timber floorboards, high ceilings and picture rails to the ornate fireplace, the home retains its original charm while offering the space, comfort and functionality required for contemporary family life.
The flexible floorplan provides four bedrooms, with the fourth bedroom equally suited as a formal lounge and featuring a beautiful ornate fireplace. The impressive main bedroom is privately positioned upstairs beneath a pitched ceiling and includes a large ensuite and balcony, creating a peaceful parents' retreat. The updated central bathroom includes a spa bath and separate shower.

At the heart of the home, the spacious open plan kitchen, dining and family area is designed for everyday living and entertaining. The well appointed kitchen features stone benchtops, a 900mm stainless-steel oven, dishwasher, glass splash back, feature pendant lighting and excellent storage.
French doors connect the living area effortlessly with the outdoors, where the home really comes into its own.
A cosy undercover entertaining area includes a wood heater, built-in barbecue connected to mains gas and bar fridge, creating a space that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons.
The private solar heated swimming pool creates a genuine holiday-at-home atmosphere, complemented by a separate rumpus room/additional living space overlooking the pool. Perfect as a games room, teenagers' retreat or entertaining room, it could also provide an excellent home office for those wanting separation from the main residence. Bi-fold servery windows add another clever touch, allowing you to pull up a stool at the bench, enjoy a drink and keep an eye on the kids in the adjoining pool area.

Split system air conditioning and ducted heating provide year round comfort.
Outside, synthetic lawn and established low maintenance gardens mean more time can be spent enjoying the home and less time maintaining it.
A single remote controlled garage provides secure parking, with an additional car space at the front, while the garage loft offers yet another versatile space ideal as a gym, teenagers' retreat, hobby room or additional bedroom.

Perfect for families wanting space to spread out, entertain and enjoy a relaxed lifestyle, the location is equally impressive. Walk to local shops and enjoy easy access to central Geelong, the Ring Road, sporting reserves and popular sporting clubs, while a selection of highly regarded schools including St Joseph's College, Sacred Heart College and The Geelong College are all within easy reach.
A home where weekends can feel like holidays - without ever having to leave.
