5 Bloomsbury Street, Newtown VIC 3220

Offering a rare blend of authentic character and practical comfort, this charming weatherboard cottage in Newtown encapsulates the essence of its locale. Set on a manageable 232sqm parcel with mixed-use zoning, it presents a compelling prospect for a range of buyers—from those seeking a cozy home with character to investors and creatives exploring broader commercial possibilities.

The interior radiates warmth, featuring Baltic Pine timber floors which flow seamlessly through living areas and bedrooms, fostering a welcoming and timeless ambiance. The living room centers around a free-standing wood log fireplace, delivering both an architectural focal point and seasonal coziness, while gas ducted heating and split-system air conditioning throughout ensure comfort year-round.

Distinctive architectural details enhance the home’s individuality, particularly in the kitchen where an original exposed brick alcove houses a standalone Westinghouse cooktop and oven, complemented by slate tile flooring, a timber benchtop, and a built-in pantry. This space strikes a balance between functional day-to-day cooking needs and unique character.

The bathroom’s inclusion of a bathtub alongside a separate laundry and toilet maximizes usability within a practical layout. The east-facing rear yard is a private, low-maintenance outdoor area ideal for enjoying Geelong’s lifestyle without the burden of extensive gardening.

Location is a notable asset, situated moments from Pakington Street’s vibrant shops and eateries, alongside serene Barwon River walking and cycling paths. Proximity to schools like Chilwell Primary and Geelong College, as well as South Geelong Station and the Geelong CBD, further enhances the property’s appeal for families, professionals, and investors alike.
