Offered for the first time, this original 1940s brick home is a true time capsule, rich in character and history. Built by the current owners’ family and held ever since, it presents a rare opportunity for buyers to renovate, develop (STCA) or move in and enjoy a home filled with authentic period charm.
Inside, the home showcases beautifully preserved original features throughout. The large formal living room is defined by its generous proportions, high ceilings and an ornate plaster ceiling centrepiece with intricate moulding. Original cornicing frames the space, while a gas fireplace set within a brick surround creates a warm focal point. Large windows on two sides allow natural light to fill the room.
A second formal room, accessed via a timber-framed archway, offers flexibility as a dining or sitting area. It mirrors the home’s period detail with stepped cornicing and its own gas heater, maintaining the same sense of character and separation from the main living zone.
The kitchen is exceptionally spacious, designed to accommodate both cooking and dining. Original white timber cabinetry, including glass-fronted display cupboards, is complemented by a tiled splashback and a separate appliance alcove housing a Chef cooktop and oven. A Bosch dishwasher, stainless steel sink and large window overlooking the garden enhance functionality, while timber flooring and crown moulding add further warmth. The kitchen connects through to an enclosed rear addition, offering a flexible space for a sunroom, studio or additional utility area.
The home comprises three bedrooms, all with high ceilings and original detailing. The master bedroom is a large double with a generous window and no built-in wardrobe, while the remaining two bedrooms include built-in robes and retain their original period features, including ceiling detailing and pendant lighting.
The central bathroom services the home and features a full-size bathtub, glass-framed shower and a single vanity with timber cabinetry. Decorative elements include vintage white octagon floor tiles with burgundy diamond inserts and a matching floral wall tile border, while a window provides natural light and ventilation.
At the rear, the outdoor space is generous and well-established, featuring a large lawn, garden beds with flowering plants, mature trees providing shade and a 10,000 litre underground water tank keeping it all lush during the summer months. A concrete patio sits directly off the home, with a covered section along the rear wall. A substantial brick garage/outbuilding offers significant space, along with a large loft-style storage area above, accessible via ladder.
This single-level home presents a unique opportunity to secure a genuine piece of Pascoe Vale history with scope to update or enhance over time. The two cross overs to access the desirable north facing block (Alpine Grove and Daley St) further add to the potential of such a standout location.
Conveniently located, the home is within reach of cafés, restaurants, bakeries and takeaway shops along Gaffney Street, Cumberland Road, Kent Road and Sussex Street. Larger retail options are available at Coburg North Village, Northland Shopping Centre, Westfield Airport West and DFO Essendon. Public transport is easily accessible with Pascoe Vale Station nearby, providing connectivity to the CBD, along with easy access to the M2 freeway. The property is zoned for Strathmore Secondary College and Pascoe Vale Primary School, and is close to St Oliver Plunkett Primary School and Pascoe Vale Girls’ Secondary College. Nearby parks and reserves include Cole Reserve, Gavan Park, Gavin Park and KW Joyce Reserve.
