Behind the weatherboard facade, three bedrooms and a converted retreat join two bathrooms finished in polished concrete and timber. At the rear, a blackbutt-lined kitchen with polished concrete benchtops and a Bertazzoni cooker flows to soaring living and dining, warmed by a gas log fire, with three sets of doors opening to a north-facing courtyard. A rear deck and alfresco space lead to a landscaped garden, creating an enchanting outlook and ease of entertaining.

Fairfield Village’s cafes and shops, Fairfield Station and Darebin Parklands are nearby, with zoning for Fairfield Primary School and Thornbury High School.
