BRUNSWICK

THE DEAL

Hidden away on a low-traffic side street while right in the heart of the Brunswick bustle, this endlessly stylish, effortlessly practical residence captures everything there is to love about the inner north.

Enjoying private frontage to a wide laneway for no shared land or owners’ corporation whatsoever, the home’s clever, function-focused, and sun-drenched interior is ideal for professionals and a young family alike. Stepping into its own quiet courtyard, a ground-floor guest room with a robe and ensuite is the perfect complement to a scenic top level, with a sizeable study flanking a main bedroom with a smart ensuite and entire wall of robe space.

With stone benches and Bosch appliances enhancing a wrap-around kitchen, a wonderfully open living/dining area steps onto a full-width, completely covered terrace, brilliant for having friends around for a Sunday barbecue or late-night drink after exploring the local restaurant and bar scenes. Feature timber battens line the staircase to add a touch of design flair, while other highlights of the first-rate home include durable floors, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, sheer curtains, a video intercom, alarm, European laundry, middle-level powder room, and remote-controlled garage.

SEALS THE DEAL

Only a single block from Sydney Road, the best of Brunswick is metres away, ranging from cafés and coffee roasters to iconic bakeries, longstanding pubs, multicultural eateries, supermarkets, parks in every direction, and trains, trams, and bike paths for rapid access to the city centre.
