Tucked into Merlynston, a leafy, tightly held pocket of Coburg North, this two bedroom home is an exceptional offering for those who need space to think, make and create, without giving up an inch of everyday comfort.
Spread across a ground and first floor, the home opens with warm jarrah floorboards flowing through an open plan kitchen, living and dining space, kept cosy year-round with gas heating. From here, step out to a covered 5.6 x 1.5m patio, a green, leafy escape framed by plenty of greenery, perfect for morning coffee or an evening wind-down.
But it's the ground floor studio that sets this home apart. At a generous 6.2 x 7.2m, it's a genuine blank canvas. Whether you're a painter, maker, musician, or simply need a dedicated work-from-home space, this room delivers the scale and separation to make it happen. An added bonus is the laundry, that keeps everyday practicalities neatly out of the way.
Upstairs, both bedrooms are fitted with built in robes and finished with plush grey carpet for a touch of everyday luxury, while downlighting throughout adds a soft, contemporary glow. The main bedroom is the standout, opening onto its own private 6.3 x 3.3m balcony – a quiet spot to start or end the day. The generous bathroom impresses with both a tub and a separate walk-in shower.
The kitchen is fitted with an electric oven and cooktop and offers ample storage, making everyday living as easy as the creative work downstairs.
Merlynston is a quiet, character-filled pocket with a genuine community feel, moments from the cafes, restaurants and bars of Sydney Road and Bell Street.
Creatives will find themselves in good company here, with Coburg's growing arts and maker culture, local galleries and studio spaces nearby. Merlynston Station is footsteps away on the Upfield line, with the 19 tram also accessible via Sydney Road, making the commute into the CBD simple and fast.
For a creative professional, a couple who wants space to grow, or anyone chasing a genuine live-work opportunity, 23 Lorensen Avenue offers something rare: a real studio, a real home in a really great neighbourhood.
