36 Collingwood Road, Newport, Vic 3015

Classically Californian at first glance, entirely contemporary upon closer observation, the renovation of this substantial five bedroom residence has set new standards and fresh benchmarks for family luxury in a setting long renowned for its lifestyle appeal. The traditional character of the external aesthetics introduces internal spaces of spectacular success, including formal living and dining room. Beyond, northern light fills a rear living/dining domain of exceptional size featuring an open-plan kitchen with a butler’s pantry and seamless flow to an alfresco pavilion catered to by an integrated barbeque bench while a superb swimming pool further – and beautifully - blurs the indoor-outdoor boundary. A main bedroom with a walk-in robe and ensuite on the ground level is brilliantly supported by three further bedrooms and a refined retreat above, adding to the allure of a design that offers two additional bathrooms, one on each level. Herringbone pattern oak parquetry, heating/cooling, elite finishes, excellent storage and evident attention to detail ensure the dimensions of this superlative home, with car parking, deliver ultimate enjoyment against a north-facing garden backdrop only moments from Newport station, cafes and the water.
