Among the vibrant foliage and period character synonymous with Coburg’s finest pocket, this fully freestanding charmer with history dating to the Edwardian era brings rich substance and evergreen elegance into the modern day. With a community atmosphere, minimal passing traffic, and rare turnover of homes, the leafy street frames a façade full of charm and provenance, beyond which rosetted ceilings, leadlight windows, Baltic pine floors, a hallway arch, and focal fireplace keep heritage alive. Extensive storage features in a pair of substantial bedrooms, while a peaceful lounge complements an open kitchen/dining area and covered alfresco brilliant for entertaining in total privacy. An off-street parking space capitalises on rear-lane frontage, while other highlights range from a 900mm stainless-steel cooker to a smart bathroom with a clawfoot bath, ducted heating, evaporative cooling, plantation shutters, and a European laundry in a solid-timber armoire. Serene and secluded while moments to the nearby bustle, it’s just steps to Sydney Road cuisine, shopping, and nightlife, Merri-Bek and St Bernard’s Primary Schools, parks and creek trails, and city-bound trains and trams.
