Adorned with the most magnificent tree canopy and walking distance to some of Geelong’s most reputable schools, Laurel Bank Parade is arguably one of Newtown's finest and most sought-after streets. Add a period family home complete with pool and offstreet parking for 3+ cars, it doesn’t get much better than this. Beyond the timeless façade, timber floors unite with soaring ceilings and all the exquisite period details of the popular Victorian era such as ceiling roses, arches and ornate cornice. Offering a flexible floorplan, the current setup provides for an oversized master positioned at the front of the home, with a further three bedrooms towards the middle and rear. The updated central kitchen includes a clever study nook to help keep an eye on kids doing homework, while the neighbouring modern bathroom includes free-standing bath and dual shower. The generous north-facing Living at the front fills with early sun, a perfect place for your morning coffee. Chances are you’ll be juggling kids in the AM though, so you’ll more likely pop into Pakington Pantry or one of the other sensational cafés on offer after the walk to school. The Lounge at the rear creates a second genuine living zone, and provides access to the superb pool and outdoor entertaining area that is sure to be filled with the laughter of children each summer (coming soon!).
