Looking for an inner-city family home that puts you right in the thick of it, yet feels unexpectedly peaceful with views stretching to the Dandenongs?
Forget the idea of a cosy cottage. This is a substantial family residence set on a large, undulating block, offering room to grow in a location that keeps you connected while enjoying a rare sense of calm.
Light-filled and generously proportioned, this period beauty makes an immediate impression. A wide entry hall beneath lofty ceilings leads to two oversized bedrooms enjoying a prized northern aspect over the front garden, a central bathroom, and an elegant formal living room with an impressive original working fireplace.
At the rear, the home opens dramatically to an expansive entertainer's kitchen, living and dining domain, elevated to capture terrace views and a lush green outlook that feels a world away from the bustle beyond. Well-equipped with ample storage, quality appliances, a horseshoe shaped bench and stone benchtops, the kitchen is designed for gatherings of every scale.
Downstairs adds yet another layer of flexibility, with two additional bedrooms, both fitted with built-in robes. Yes, that's four sizeable bedrooms in total, comfortably accommodating growing families or those needing room to spread out. A second bathroom and separate laundry enhance everyday practicality, while doors open to an undercover alfresco area and an established garden complete with a levelled lawn (with in-ground sprinklers), a walnut tree and a lemon tree at the front.
Additional features include remote off-street parking within the front setback, right-of-way access, solar panels, split-system heating and cooling, bike parking and more.
Held by the same family for close to 30 years, it's a rare opportunity to secure a home of this scale in a tightly held pocket. From here, you are just steps to High Street, Westgarth Village, local boutiques and eateries, with trams, trains and parks within easy reach, and zoning for Northcote High and Northcote Primary completing the picture.
