6 Upper Skene Street

Placed within one of Newtown's most admired tree-lined streets, 'Stanley' delivers timeless character, exceptional family flexibility and a prized north-facing 821 sqm (approx.) allotment, capturing abundant natural light. Beyond its charming period façade, the home reveals a series of beautifully illuminated interiors, where original architectural features are thoughtfully balanced with contemporary updates. Multiple living domains and a highly adaptable floorplan provide a home designed to evolve effortlessly with modern family life. At its centre, expansive open-plan living, dining and kitchen spaces create a natural hub for connection and everyday living, flowing seamlessly to a substantial timber deck. This private outdoor zone offers a warm and inviting setting for year-round entertaining. Accommodation is both generous and versatile. The Master Suite at the front of the home is privately positioned with its own ensuite, w/in robe and parents' retreat. Upstairs, two bedrooms are appointed with built-in robes, and renovated bathroom with the fourth bedroom offering a unique roof-cavity retreat-an imaginative children's hideaway or quiet study space. Comfort is well considered throughout, including ducted heating, split system cooling, an electric fireplace, gas fireplace in the front office, and off-street carport parking for six vehicles with an oversized four car garage accessed by the rear lane and street front double carport. A standout inclusion is the self-contained, large studio, complete with its own bathroom and laundry. Ideal for guests, teenagers, extended family or a private work-from-home or creative space, this addition significantly enhances the home's flexibility. The expansive north-facing rear garden is a rare offering in this tightly held Newtown pocket, providing generous entertainment area, exceptional natural light and exciting scope for a future pool or further landscaping if desired (STCA). Positioned within one of Geelong's most prestigious lifestyle pockets, the home is just moments from The Geelong College, St Joseph's College and Sacred Heart College. Pakington Street's celebrated cafés, dining and boutique offerings are within easy reach, while the Barwon River, Kardinia Park and GMHBA Stadium are all close by.
