Pairing leafy calm with lifestyle verve, a prestige pocket of the beloved inner north plays host to this period gem where rich heritage, impressive proportion, and a first-class revamp deliver low-maintenance, family-friendly comfort. Behind a long-standing gum tree, interiors embrace both the old world and modern day. Featuring its own ensuite with floor and towel-rail heating, a brilliant main bedroom is accompanied by a chic central bathroom, broad guest room, and third bedroom enjoying floral outlooks through bow windows and a fold-down desk for home workdays. A wrap-around kitchen is sure to excite the passionate cook with its two ovens, integrated dishwasher, gas cooktop, and wealth of soft-close cabinetry, while adjoining living and dining zones spill into a wonderfully private, north-facing yard where a mural by Mik Shida is the perfect backdrop for blue-sky entertaining. Augmented by walk-in/built-in robes, comprehensive heating/cooling, a front-room fireplace, large shed/laundry, and various trees for a connection to the nature, it’s only steps to lively Lygon Street and Sydney Road, Barkly Square, parks in all directions, bike paths, Jewell Station, and city-bound trams.
