Offered for the first time in over 65 years, 20 Stott Street is a quintessential Northcote treasure that perfectly balances nostalgic charm with incredible future potential. This meticulously maintained weatherboard home opens with a classic arched hallway, leading into a residence defined by its grand proportions and soaring high ceilings. The main home features three generous bedrooms and a light-filled living area that flows into the original kitchen and meals space-highlighted by its iconic checkered floor and vintage cabinetry. Beyond the main dwelling, the deep north-facing allotment reveals a significant bonus: a substantial self-contained rear studio equipped with its own kitchen and bathroom/laundry, offering the perfect solution for a home office, creative retreat, or multi-generational living.
The property's appeal is further enhanced by its practical layout and outdoor amenities. The lush backyard is a Mediterranean-inspired sanctuary, home to established olive and citrus trees that offer privacy and a sense of escape. Critically, the property features highly sought-after rear Right-of-Way (ROW) access, providing secure off-street parking for one vehicle-a premium luxury in this vibrant inner-north pocket. Whether you choose to preserve the character of this long-held family gem, embark on a modern renovation, or utilize the expansive site for something entirely new (STCA), the foundations for success are already here. Located just moments from High Street's renowned dining scene, Allis Park, Croxton train station and elite local schools, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to secure a home with history, flexibility, and rare rear access.
