48 Oakbank St, Newport VIC 3015, Australia

The success with which this classically beautiful Californian has kept pace with the times is illustrated by a design that retains charming original details, delivers substantial modern dimensions and reveals a rear garden where low-maintenance landscaping means easy, enjoyable weekends. A quiet, highly regarded street close to the water, the Westbourne Grammar School campus and all the Williamstown amenities complements the appeal of a property where period integrity defines the façade while off street parking offers ideal convenience. Inside, the appeal of high ceilings, stained glass windows, original floorboards and fire-places enhances formal living and dining rooms, with a decked outdoor retreat, while the substantial separate family living/dining domain flows to the rear verandah, the attractive backdrop and its flexible garden shed/workshop. An open-plan kitchen contributes contemporary quality to a downstairs level that features two of the home’s four bedrooms, including a main bedroom with a walk-in robe and en suite. Two upstairs bedrooms, both with a city view, the family bathroom and access to attic storage further enhance this warmly welcoming home. An exceptional family address.
