Newtown’s Neiley St is cementing its reputation as a hotspot for high-end renovations with another custom build helping transform the streetscape.
A luxury knockdown rebuild project featuring handcrafted bricks and designer curves is the latest to be listed for sale at the prized address.
Whitford, Newtown agent John Moran has set a $2.955m to $3.25m price guide for the striking four-bedroom house designed around a central swimming pool.

Natural materials, such as timber and handcrafted bricks, introduce 4 Neiley St, Newtown.
Outdoor entertaining takes centre stage at the four-bedroom house.
Potential buyers are loving all the curves.
The vendors had a renovation in mind for the original brick home when they beat three other bidders for 4 Neiley St at auction in 2022.
But they ended up starting from scratch to create a premium family home on the 763sq m block.
“They have built a really high-end home and it’s had really impressive feedback so far,” Mr Moran said.
“There are big executive style homes around there and there’s more to come so that little Neiley St strip is going to be really high end.”
A striking curved wall showcasing handcrafted Krause bricks from Stawell is a standout feature of the four-bedroom home’s facade, which he said was intentionally understated.
Most of the wow moments happen behind the front door, where the neutral palette incorporates timber floors, cathedral ceilings and tiled curved accents, which have proven a hit with potential buyers.
The main living area is bathed in natural light.
The netural palette extends to the main bathroom.
The front lounge is a quiet retreat.
An open-plan living area is the centrepiece of the design and connects to the pool and landscaped garden through a wall of glazing.
The kitchen is a showstopper, with a signature curved island bench, premium appliances, porcelain countertops and a large butler’s pantry.
“The pool and the back yard are standout features,” Mr Moran said.
“For me, it’s also the clean lines, it’s nice and bright and has a good flow to the floor plan. It’s got a lot going for it.”
It caters to families with the provision of a second lounge and home office.
The house follows in the footsteps of its neighbour at 2 Neiley St, Newtown, where a premium renovation was snapped up for $2.695m in October last year.
Geelong builder Built By Wilson’s Matt and Lauren Wilson teamed up with architects Tecture and renowned Melbourne property stylist Simone Haag to inject new life into that mid-century house.
