349 Douglas Parade, Newport, VIC 3015

A property where the rich period integrity of 3m ceilings, heritage decorative details and original proportions has been preserved while a series of significant improvements and updates were undertaken, this engaging, evocative home blends the classical and the current with the scope for adding further contemporary elements when so desired. Separate spaces for living and dining are complemented by the capable kitchen of a four bedroom floor-plan. A central c2020 bathroom and a separate laundry/second bathroom add to the present day appeal before the rear garden reveals its pleasing dimensions, secure shed, substantial dog house and play pen. Modern plumbing, copper pipes, hot water system, painting and carpets ensure this home?s freshness remains while the more recent addition of dual split system heating/cooling units enhances the comfort created by its ducted central heating. Pergola entertaining, a garage/workshop, rear laneway access and side drive parking add extra advantages in a prized position surrounded by Newport Park, Digman Reserve, and Greenwich Reserve, within walking distance of cafes and shops. The ease with the city can be reached, the period authenticity of the streetscape and a welcoming community mood make this address even more tempting.
