Location benefits lead family to splash on out Newtown home
Families are set to exchange the love for the location benefits this modern, three-bedroom Newtown home offers.
The home built new five years ago appealed to the sellers for the opportunity to ditch the daily pick-up, given the proximity to local schools such as The Geelong College, Sacred Heart and St Josephs colleges.
The home at 59 George St obviously offered so much more, but now a new family is preparing to reap the benefits of the position, Maxwell Collins, Geelong agent Nick Lord said.
The buyers had secured the three bedroom house in a $2m-plus deal finalised on Christmas Eve, Mr Lord said.
