THE DEAL

Encompassed by trees and primed for family life, this completely renovated, century-old gem is a rare blend of serenity and amenity, all in a position near Lygon Street, Nicholson Street, and Sydney Road that’s one of the north’s best.

With the tree-rich ambiance of a rural hideaway, canopies of plant life shape a stance that’s both attractive and charismatic, with an ultra-usable front veranda ideal for a peaceful morning with coffee in-hand. Old-world details are scattered across a revamped interior, with a brilliantly open lower level tailor-made for entertaining. Broad living and dining zones flank an oversized granite kitchen with top-of-the-range Smeg cooker, while a warm-timber ceiling and surrounding windows make a rear lounge the perfect space to unwind. A substantial backyard makes clever use of second frontage to Ethel Street, offering plenty of room for outdoor dining alongside two cars.

Serviced by a sizeable bathroom with a spa bath, stone-top vanity, trendy tiles, and reeded-glass shower screens, two generous, downstairs bedrooms complement tremendous top-floor accommodation. All three upper bedrooms step onto their own, private balconies, while a wide teenager’s retreat meets a covered terrace superb for a social drink taking in colourful sunsets. With outstanding proportions, abundant storage, welcomed flexibility, and green outlooks from every corner, highlights of the home include timber floors, reverse-cycle heating and cooling, ceiling fans, solar energy, excellent robe space, a large shed, secure side deck, and zoning for acclaimed Brunswick East Primary and Northcote High.

SEALS THE DEAL

Peace, privacy, and tranquillity fostered by lush greenery, paired with the convenience of being just steps from cafés, restaurants, bars, and shops.
