Overview

Much-loved Ruckers Hill family home with city views and vast potential

Treasured by the same family for over 50 years, this classic post-war home presents a rare opportunity to secure an enduring Northcote lifestyle on the tightly held western slopes of Ruckers Hill, footsteps from High Street and St Georges Road. Complete with a sweeping district panorama from its elevated corner block (approximately 399sqm), the beautifully maintained three-bedroom layout is complemented by verdant citrus gardens and dual frontage with handy vehicle access via Park Street, as well as vast potential to renovate/extend (STCA) and transform existing city views into a spectacular CBD outlook. Framed by north-facing gardens peppered with fruit trees, the blonde brick façade welcomes with light-filled accommodation including a spacious living area and dedicated dining area beyond vintage glass doors. At the home's heart is a smart updated kitchen offering quality gas fixtures, plentiful cabinetry and a meals zone. There is also a king-sized main bedroom with floor-to-ceiling built-ins, two generous further bedrooms and a neat bathroom that has a bath, shower and separate w/c. Nestled quietly at the back is a lovely undercover terrace enjoying the city views, which leads to a large child-friendly yard with a mature fig tree and veggie garden. In addition, it features a separate laundry with an extra w/c, ducted gas heating, rainwater storage, a huge cellar (or under house storage), pedestrian access on each side, plus a single garage and single carport behind an automatic door. Just 6kms from the city, this much-loved home is enviably located just a short stroll to Northcote's boutique shops, cafes and restaurants, two tram lines, Merri Creek Reserve and both Merri and Northcote stations. Zoned to Northcote Primary School and Northcote High School.
