Prestige and style: 8 Cairns Avenue, Newtown

Architectural flourishes have created this distinct and stylish prestige home nestled in the desirable leafy avenues of Newtown. Standing tall on a corner site, this impressive two-storey residence makes a bold statement in contemporary colours, materials and design.

First-floor windows are set into architectural steel shrouds and a painted extruded brick portico beckons the visitor. Open the door to an expansive, light-filled living/dining/kitchen space and discover a home with a thoughtful, fluid design equipped with every modern convenience.

High-end touches include a cosy gas fireplace set into a round-edged faux chimney, long stone hearth, oak floors, tall ceilings and double doors to an inviting private deck which adds even more space to indoor-outdoor entertaining.

The spacious kitchen features stone benchtops and splashback, premium 900mm Bosche induction cooktop, oven and dishwasher with adjoining butler’s pantry. Nearby is the luxurious master suite with windows to a private side garden, a wall of built-in robes and nest of drawers cleverly set into the wall. The bright ensuite features floor to ceiling tiles. Timber stairs lead to a second cosy living space, three bedrooms with mirror-faced BIRs, a large study nook and a floor-to-ceiling tiled family bathroom with free-standing bath.

The property features a 3KW PV solar system, reverse cycle ducted heating/cooling, alarm system, two extra powder rooms and a double lock-up garage.

This beautiful modern home sits at the foot of Newtown hill, which means it’s an easy flat walk to and from primary schools and Pakington Street’s river-end village of fashion, food and more. The Barwon River, Kardinia Park and prestige secondary schools are also a short walk placing this centrally-located, brand-new home at the doorstep of the best of Geelong.
