Few homes capture the soul of Newtown quite like this charming weatherboard cottage. Perfectly positioned moments from Pakington Street and the Barwon River, this two-bedroom residence offers an inviting blend of original character, everyday comfort and genuine future potential on a low-maintenance 232sqm (approx.) allotment, with the added advantage of mixed-use zoning.

Step inside and the warmth is immediate. Beautiful Baltic Pine timber floorboards flow through the master bedroom, second bedroom, living and dining areas, glowing with the kind of character that simply cannot be replicated. In the living room, a freestanding wood log fireplace anchors the space with an irresistible focal point, while split-system air conditioning and gas ducted heating throughout ensure year-round comfort whatever the season. It's a space that invites you to settle in and stay awhile.

The kitchen is as charming as it is characterful with a standalone Westinghouse cooktop and oven nestled within an original exposed brick alcove; a rare architectural detail that lends the space its own distinct personality. Slate tile flooring, built-in pantry and timber benchtop complete the kitchen that is as functional as it is full of charm. The bathroom with a relaxing bathtub, connects through to a separate laundry and toilet, offering a practical layout for everyday living.

Outside, the low-maintenance east-facing rear yard provides a private and manageable outdoor space perfectly suited to those who prefer to enjoy the local lifestyle over maintaining a large garden.

The location is nothing short of exceptional. Pakington Street's celebrated dining, boutique shopping and vibrant cafe culture is a short stroll from the front door, while the serene walking and cycling trails along the Barwon River are just moments away. Chilwell Primary School, Geelong College and Sacred Heart College are all close by, while South Geelong Station is within walking distance for Melbourne commuters and Geelong's CBD is accessible in minutes.

In this prized pocket of Newtown, the very best of Geelong is always within easy reach. Whether you're looking to move in and enjoy immediately, renovate and enhance, secure a strong investment or explore the mixed-use zoning for a broader commercial vision, the fundamentals are compelling and the opportunity is rare.
