A complete delight that's perfectly uplifting in every way, this stylishly-renovated tuckpointed brick terrace flawlessly extends from its exceptionally comfortable accommodation and dual living zones to a leafy entertainers' courtyard garden basking in north-facing rear sunshine. Tucked away on a quiet and friendly, community-minded street close to a host of cafes and the tranquil Yarra River, outstanding quality is evident from the outset with solid red ironbark flooring in the entrance hallway leading to 2 great-sized bedrooms with built-in robes and plantation shutters, where the first features an open fireplace and the second provides concealed ladder access to huge attic storage. A wide living room with an expansive timber-framed window and a HeatnGlo gas fireplace exudes warmth and style as it flows into a light-filled, open-planned zone where a gourmet kitchen integrating a stone-topped island, pull-out pantry and Miele stainless-steel appliances including a steam oven, adjoins a smart lounge/dining room with double-glazed bifold doors and block-out blinds. There's also a brilliant modern bathroom (deep soaker bath) plus a European laundry, heat pump hot-water and split-system heating and cooling, while designed for relaxed alfresco entertaining is a secluded north-rear courtyard fringed in landscaped greenery that offers an automatic retractable awning, side lock-up shed and ROW access to a wide sealed laneway. Experience sought-after Abbotsford bliss in a high-end, low-maintenance setting enjoying enviably easy proximity to nearby Yarra River parkland and trails, Johnston Street cafes, gastropubs, Convent arts precinct, Collingwood Children's Farm, Victoria Street shopping and restaurants, schools and childcare, trams and the train station.
