Steeped in period character and framed by lush, established gardens, this beautifully preserved four-bedroom, two-bathroom home offers a rare combination of original charm and relaxed family living. A classic picket-fenced façade with a covered entry porch sets a warm tone, while inside, an ornate fretwork archway draws the eye down a generous timber-floored hallway.
The separate formal living room makes an immediate impression with its original fireplace, high ceilings and decorative cornice detail, while a second front bedroom also retains its period fireplace. Toward the rear, a light-filled glazed family room opens through French doors to a large undercover entertaining deck, creating a natural indoor-outdoor flow that overlooks the private, spacious backyard. A freestanding combustion heater, split-system air conditioning and ornate ceiling rose complete the space.
The kitchen is well-appointed with white cabinetry, a vivid mosaic tile splashback and a central island with breakfast bar seating, serviced by a full suite of appliances including a built-in oven, cooktop, and dishwasher and fridge spaces tucked behind white cabinetry. A generous study with dual workstation setup adds flexibility for those working from home, while a separate internal laundry completes the practical zones.
Four bedrooms, each with built-in robes, are serviced by two bathrooms. The main family bathroom offers a bath with shower, and the master bedroom retreat at the rear opens via sliding doors to its own private covered deck. The detached main bedroom is also serviced by an ensuite with a freestanding bathtub, separate shower and double vanity, and benefits from its own split-system air conditioning.
Zoned for Wales Street Primary School and Thornbury High School, the property sits moments from High Street's cafes and restaurants, as well as Northcote Shopping Plaza and the Northcote Aquatic and Recreation Centre close by. Northcote Station is less than a 5 minute drive away, with trams on High Street providing easy city connection.
