The central location in Newtown’s coveted schools zone was a feature that initially drew vendors John and Liz to this spacious 866sq m residence.

The home at 103 Aberdeen St, Newtown provides a family lifestyle only a short walk from Pakington St and moments away from the Geelong CBD.

“We love being able to walk to the pub for dinner (the Gold Diggers is just at the back of the home across the laneway), a short walk across the road to Bottles and Barrels for coffee in the morning is a treat,” Liz says.
