5A Nantes Street

Family friendly living in a blue-chip suburb close to Geelong's best private schools with amenities on the doorstep and Melbourne within easy reach is just the icing on the cake. The property is also close to the Ring Road, while GMHBA Stadium and Kardinia Park's sporting facilities are within walking distance and the Bellarine Peninsula's beaches and wineries a short drive away. Nestled among mature trees and low-maintenance gardens, the peace and quiet surrounding the large north-facing block belies its proximity to the hustle and bustle of Geelong's CBD. Located in a highly sought after but tightly held street in prestigious Newtown, the home offers a floorplan that can be adapted to meet a family's changing needs. Built over three levels, the ground floor features light-filled living and a separate dining area boasting outdoor spaces overlooking the private backyard and pool. They present perfect spots to linger over morning coffee or a glass of wine, keep an eye on children playing in the secure backyard or hosting barbecues and get-togethers with views of Corio Bay and beyond as a stunning backdrop. There's always time to head downstairs and cool off in or around the pool, relax in the spa or ease the stresses of the day with a sauna; solar and gas heating ensure year-round comfort. The ground level also includes the main bedroom with ensuite, laundry with under-stair storage and an all-electric kitchen with wall oven, built-in fridge and Bosch induction cooktop. A separate lounge adjacent to the main bedroom could be used as a nursery then converted into a playroom or library. There are three bedrooms, bathroom with shower and mezzanine/play/study area on the upper level. Used as a gym and home office in the past, the bedroom at the back of the house has bi-fold windows and overlooks the pool. The lower level has under-house storage, workshop, toilet, outdoor shower and a rumpus/teenager's retreat but could accommodate guests or relatives. There's room for children and pets to run around in the backyard without disturbing the chooks, who have their haven on the fenceline, while gardeners will appreciate the veggie patch and fruit from the lemon tree and passionfruit vine. The ground level has gas ducted heating with reverse-cycle airconditioning upstairs. Zoned for Newtown Primary and Matthew Flinders Girls Secondary College, prestigious private schools including The Geelong College, St Joseph's College and Sacred Heart College are close by. The Barwon Health precinct, Geelong Station, Pakington St cafes and retail outlets, Shannon Avenue shops and the Eastern Beach Reserve are minutes away by car.
