6 Effingham Road, Newport, Vic 3015

Elegantly Edwardian at first glance, exceptionally expansive upon closer inspection, this classical double fronted residence has adopted a modern identity that makes it a substantial, successful family home in a highly prized Newport pocket. High ceilings, polished floors, a period fire-place and surround sound speakers define a central sitting room that precedes open-plan living/dining areas to the rear, accompanied by a kitchen featuring quantum quartz bench-tops, ample cabinetry and stainless steel appliances before an established garden creates a great context for entertaining and enjoying. Family friendly accommodation comprising four bedrooms and three bathrooms is arranged over two levels, including a downstairs main suite, second bedroom and central bathroom below the two additional bedrooms and their own bathroom in an innovative, inviting upstairs extension that reflects how effectively the architect designed renovation as enabled this property to keep pace with the times. A generous garage/workshop adds to an immediately appealing profile desirably close to The Strand, the water, parkland paths, cafes, Newport station and shopping.
