23 River Street, Newport, Vic 3015

Behold an idyllic lifestyle with bountiful space, sophisticated style and a coveted location in beautiful bayside Newport. From the charming front porch of this gracious Californian Bungalow to the expansive undercover entertainer's deck, the fortunate new owners of this superb double-storey home need only sit back and enjoy.

The charming white-picket fence and the tree-lined street set a welcoming scene for a home that brims with a wealth of space and convenience. The five generous bedrooms, smartly spread across two levels to offer the ultimate flexibility, are an impressive, sought-after feature. Downstairs, the two bedrooms boast special details: one with French doors opening onto a private deck and the other with a gorgeous bay window and bench seat. 

The expansive main bedroom is an inviting parents' retreat or perhaps even a teen zone. The two beautifully finished bathrooms - one with a tub and the other with a spectacular, light-filled walk-in shower and double vanities - cater to a busy home's needs. Of course, there's also the handy bonus of a powder room.

The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, which flows into the enticing deck through stylish timber sliding doors. Subtly elegant in a classic black-and-white palette, this entertainer's kitchen encompasses an island bench with seating, along with ample cupboard space, induction hot plates, subway-tiled splashback and chic pendant lighting. Outside, the green garden awaits; the perfect position to soak it up is from the huge deck which can be enjoyed rain, hail or shine.

Featuring beautiful warm, polished floorboards, lush carpeting, period details and crisp white walls throughout, it's also the excellent floorplan that shines. A separate study nestled at the front of the house has doors opening onto a separate sitting room: it's another generous space that offers seclusion from the hustle and bustle of the kitchen.

Extras in this first-rate abode include secure off-street parking, ducted heating, split-system cooling, a rainwater tank, a sprinkler system and a scenic garden-side laundry room which includes extra storage space. 

Within walking distance to Newport Train Station, the banks of the Yarra River and its walking trails and parkland sit at the end of the street. Hall Street's bustling shops and eateries are also close, while scenic Williamstown Beach is less than 10 minutes away. The essence of picturesque, convenient and inspiring family living, this beautiful home is ready to embrace you.
