NEWLANDS HOUSE FOR SALE

Dear Friends and Neighbours,

Nearly 30 years in my lovely Newlands semi on the park and more than 80 years on the 

clock it’s time for me to move to the next stage of my life somewhere else.

I know there are often locals waiting for a Newlands home to come up so I thought I 

would put the word out here first. I am looking for a realistic offer which would get you:

Solid, well built1950ish double brick with native timber, masonry foundations, with 3 good size bedrooms

Modern central bathroom with toilet.

second shower room/toilet/laundry with Bosch front load washer.

Lounge/living room with low emissions fire box in original fireplace.

Fitted kitchen with new induction hob, microwave, Miele oven and Bosch dishwasher.

Original polished Vic ash/Tassie oak floors throughout.

NBN, good security, good storage.

Highly energy e+icient with 8.5+ rating.

All external walls and ceiling insulated.

Double glazing, insulated window screens, hydronic heating with instant ignition heat 

capture boiler, instant gas hot water (both recent), Stiebel HRV (heat recovery 

ventilation), reverse cycle aircon, new solar panels and 10kw battery, ceiling fans 

throughout, energy and water eMicient appliances.

The home costs very little to run.

organic gardening (fabulous soil); 3 large and 1 small water tanks; combination of 

indigenous plantings to prepare for climate change and exotics for colour, perfume and 

bees; dwarf fig, cherry, orange, mandarin and apple trees; Japanese maples and 

eucalypts for small gardens & shade/heat management. Nature strip is a “wildflower 

meadow” under trees and the rear garden beds are in transition to wildflower meadows 

under the trees. Designed to be low maintenance and I can recommend a great local 

gardener.

The neighbourhood:

Short walk to miles of Merri Creek and Edgars Creek parklands, Coburg Lake, bike paths 

and sporting facilities; near Pentridge for entertainment, Coburg Hill shopping; opposite 

community centre, child care, kindergartens and short walk to primary and secondary

I haven’t changed the original house plan so plenty of opportunity to reshape it to your 

own needs. 

And a great community ready to welcome you and your family.
