Raphael Houston proudly presents...
Built in 1920, this highly desirable double-fronted weatherboard cottage retains the detail and atmosphere of its era, with many significant original 1920s features carefully restored and still intact. Original timberwork, stained glass and fireplaces give the home a rich, intimate character, while thoughtful maintenance ensures it is ready to move into and enjoy.
These elements continue throughout the original rooms, from the bay window and substantial fireplace mantels to the timber doors, architraves, skirtings and picture rails. Four original fireplaces remain, including the wood-fired cooker in the kitchen, preserving a particularly evocative part of the home's history. The kitchen is crafted from rare solid Blackwood timber, complementing the character details found throughout the home and its exterior.
The plan provides three bedrooms alongside separate living spaces, before opening into a broad family and dining room at the rear. This flexible arrangement suits a range of family needs and stages of life, offering room to gather together or enjoy separate spaces. Here, large windows bring the garden into view and create a more relaxed setting for everyday living.
Outside, vintage red brickwork continues the character of the house through a private, established garden. Raised beds, mature trees and dense planting create a secluded place to entertain, while the depth of the backyard provides scope to extend the home and introduce additional living space over time.
Recent work has focused on preserving and maintaining the property, with the interior and exterior repaired and repainted, a Colorbond roof installed within the past decade and the electrical system completely rewired. Reverse-cycle heating and cooling provides modern comfort, while an alarm, intercom, security camera, remote front gate and lockable side gates secure the property.
A covered carport and walkway provide sheltered access to the house, while the established citrus hedge along the front garden adds another productive layer to the landscape.
Set within a quiet Coburg neighbourhood, the home is surrounded by the produce markets, independent shopping and culturally diverse dining that define the area, with public transport providing easy connections beyond the immediate neighbourhood.
