Behind its striking facade, this freestanding architect-designed home delivers an exceptional blend of quality craftsmanship and effortless inner-north living. Bathed in natural light, the home unfolds across a beautifully considered floorplan, where engineered timber floors lead through an inviting living room before opening to a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living area designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining. At the heart of the home, the stone kitchen pairs timeless style with outstanding functionality, appointed with premium AEG appliances, generous storage and a cleverly designed pull-out pantry. Large glass doors create a seamless connection to the private rear courtyard, where a generous entertaining deck with underfloor storage sits beneath a grapevine-covered pergola, framed by established garden beds that provide both shade and privacy. Upstairs, two generous bedrooms offer peaceful accommodation, complemented by a beautifully appointed central bathroom featuring a separate bath and shower beneath an automatic skylight, creating a tranquil space to unwind at the end of the day. Further highlights include split-system heating and cooling throughout, plantation shutters, fingerprint door lock, video intercom/doorbell and security system, premium fixtures and fittings, soaring vaulted ceilings, skylights, a downstairs bathroom and a European laundry. Positioned in one of Thornbury's most desirable pockets, this exceptional home is moments from Merri Creek parklands and walking trails, vibrant cafés, restaurants and bars, boutique shopping along High Street, excellent public transport and quality local schools, including zoning for Northcote High School. Offering an outstanding combination of architectural design, lifestyle and convenience, this is a rare opportunity to secure a freestanding home just 8km from Melbourne's CBD.
