Encompassed by the thriving nature of its Merri Creek surrounds, this entirely turnkey residence with off-street parking for two delivers a bright, spacious, practical, and peaceful entry to the best of the inner north. Taking its place on a quiet street with no passing traffic, the abode is framed by the flourishing plant life so central to the area’s appeal, with a two-story interior just as ideal for professionals as a young family accessing local private and public schools including Northcote High. A substantial living/dining area is a delight whether hosting or unwinding, spilling into a completely private backyard and leafy front yard to comfortably cater for dozens of guests. Upscale Bosch/Miele appliances and a walk-in pantry enhance a stone-top kitchen, while up and downstairs bathrooms join a wealth of robe space in serving three large upstairs bedrooms. With twelve solar panels, solid timber floors, comprehensive heating/cooling, ceiling fans, a lock-up carport, and European laundry, the residence is on the border of Brunswick East and Northcote, close to trains, trams, Merri Creek bike path, CERES, and East Brunswick Village with lively Lygon Street a short walk away.
