With rich history as a former dairy and one of its prestige pocket’s first homes, this c1899 prize offers an elegant snapshot of yesteryear with stirring scope to enjoy instantly, rework over time, and live comfortably long into the future. Preceded by a timeless façade and feature gum tree, practical interiors see four bedrooms accompanied by a versatile fifth bedroom/office and tidy bathroom with a bathtub. A broad dining area and sizeable kitchen flank a family room brilliant for fireside winter nights, while a sun-splashed backyard with a vegetable garden and fruit trees soaks in sun, backs onto a car-width laneway, and gives kids ample space to run around. With sash, bay, and leadlight windows, ornate skirts, cornices, and architraves, Baltic pine floors, fireplaces, and soaring, rosetted ceilings accentuating period appeal, highlights include original dairy and outbuildings, a full-size laundry, and parking for several cars, while zoned Coburg North Primary and Strathmore Secondary College, cafés and restaurants, parks and playgrounds, Coburg North Village, CBD-bound trains and trams, CityLink, and ever-vibrant Sydney Road all sit close by.
