Once the Brunswick Dairy, this remarkable residence has been reimagined as a beautifully crafted family home on a substantial inner-north block, complete with lush gardens, a natural water pool and off-street parking.
Quietly positioned in a walkable pocket yet only steps from the energy of Sydney Road and Lygon Street, it captures that rare Brunswick balance. Close to trams, trains, eateries, bars and parklands, yet feeling wonderfully still. Light-filled, airy and finished with a sleek, understated confidence, this is the kind of place that shifts expectations. And opportunities like this rarely come along.
Inside, a cool, calm palette sets the tone. A central hallway leads to four beautifully proportioned bedrooms, including a main bedroom that feels like its own retreat. A full wall of bifold glass doors opens directly to the northern garden, drawing in light and greenery, while a luxe ensuite and custom-built cabinetry add quiet refinement. A central family bathroom and separate laundry with generous storage keep everyday living easy.
Clever design by architect Rob Kennon is felt throughout, but it is the rear living domain that truly elevates the home. Open-plan living with a bespoke Stuv fireplace and dining space unfolds around a high-end kitchen, with a full wall of bifold doors opening wide to a paved alfresco and landscaped garden beyond. The result is a space that breathes with the seasons.
The kitchen itself is something special, appointed with quality appliances including an induction stovetop, fully integrated fridge and freezer, walk-in pantry and a broad breakfast bar that naturally becomes the centre of conversation.
Above, an attic studio provides a versatile extra layer. Guest retreat, creative studio, home office. However you use it, it adds flexibility to a home already designed to live beautifully.
The list of extras is long and quietly impressive, with plenty more beyond what first catches the eye. Solar panels, double glazing, electric hydronic heating, reverse cycle vented heating and cooling, a heated banquette, custom-built storage throughout, quality fixtures and fittings, a water tank, fully irrigated gardens, a garden shed and remote off-street parking from Bell Street are all part of the picture, along with many thoughtful details that reveal themselves over time.
Design is considered, craftsmanship evident, and the everyday carefully elevated.
