Once the home to 71 bustling food stalls, this four-bedroom home in Brunswick's 1930 converted marketplace is a peaceful European-style hideaway in the thriving heart of Sydney Road. Designed by IG Anderson in the day's popular Spanish Mission style, the home proudly reminisces its youth, flaunting a stunning Starburst rendered façade, and timber Belfast roof trusses holding the roofline at a towering 8 metres high.
Beneath the soaring metal roofline, concrete and timber flooring combine to symbolise the artful blend of old and new. The voluminous open plan space is drenched in sunlight and acoustically ideal, providing the perfect setting for everyday living and vibrant entertaining. There is endless room for relaxation with family and friends, and an elevated platform to accommodate the largest of tables for festive family feasts. The kitchen mingles guests around a lengthy island bar, while the avid cook is pampered with a full suite of Smeg appliances and plenty of modern storage.
At the front of the home, an enclosed courtyard indulges sun-kissed enjoyment beside a tranquil water feature, offering drinks and refreshments from a built-in bar.
Nestled among the ornate trusses and curved roofline, a home office offers privacy to work from home, complemented by two enormous bedrooms including the main bedroom with walk-in robe and ensuite. Downstairs, the accommodation is completed with another two robed bedrooms, serviced by a central bathroom with European laundry. Finished with a carpark and storeroom within an internally accessed communal garage, this impressive residence is eligible for multiple street parking permits (subject to council approval).
Surrounded by the cosmopolitan cafés and eateries of Sydney Road, this location is a lifestyle destination, with boutique retailers, mouthwatering fresh food and lively nightlife abundant, and all forms of transport at its doorstep. Zoned for Brunswick Secondary College and Brunswick North Primary, and close to esteemed universities, the locale is family focussed, bordered by local parklands and the Upfield bike path, while minutes from Royal Park recreation, the Melbourne Zoo, and Melbourne's CBD.
