A quiet Rupert Street address, close to all that makes Collingwood such a vibrant and exciting lifestyle location, is the sought-after setting of this freestanding 2-bedroom residence. Immaculately presented behind high-wall privacy, it offers a wonderful single-level opportunity with dual frontage and full side access. A city-edge oasis of exceptional character and comfort, this delightful home is impressive from the outset with secure courtyard garden entry revealing a bright interior of endless charm defined by high ceilings and polished floorboards, along with new carpets and fresh paintwork. Both bedrooms of great proportions, including the main with built-in robes and a ceiling fan, are peacefully situated off a wide hallway that extends to the rear where large windows draw an abundance of natural light into a relaxing living room (gas space heating, air-conditioner) overlooking a side outdoor area. Further under a beamed timber ceiling lies a separate kitchen and a meals area on a polished slate floor. Here, a sliding door opens out to a secluded courtyard garden that, with secure gated access to Sturt Street, is the ideal space to set up a BBQ, enjoy the company of friends, and even park the bikes. Completing the layout is a full laundry and a sizable modern bathroom with a shower-over-bath and ample storage. Entirely irresistible and immediately inviting, this picturesque timber home is an outstanding low-maintenance package that represents the perfect opening for buyers with ambition looking to secure a comfortable place to call their own then add a personal touch of contemporary quality and style when ready. Near to the action, yet far enough away to savour the serenity, you can walk with ease to Smith Street's collection of cool cafes, restaurants and wine bars, shops and supermarkets, art galleries, trams into the city, and Collingwood train station. Gahan Reserve and the Yarra River, as well as the Fitzroy Gardens and East Melbourne hospitals are all nearby.
