A sanctuary with soul in the heart of Northcote, this warm and inviting Victorian residence captures the essence of inner-city living with its timeless character, modernised layout and north-facing rear courtyard including secure off-street parking.

A classic heritage profile and excellent rear lane access frame the light-filled, single-level spaces of this stylishly-updated 2 bedroom terrace that’s brilliantly located for a perfectly-balanced lifestyle between the dynamic vibe of High Street and 13 peaceful hectares of parkland with a playground and dog park. An arched hallway with access to a huge and very useable timber-lined attic with storage passes.

2 bright and spacious bedrooms where both include built-in robes and reverse-cycle heating and cooling. A high ceiling rose, polished floorboards, air-conditioning and a gas space heater create a captivating ambience of complete comfort in a superb living room with a door to the side garden, while a fabulous bathroom (shower over bath, vanity, w/c) with a laundry area is centrally situated for absolute convenience.

At the rear is a large open-planned dining and kitchen area with sliding doors and a northerly outlook that offers loads of room to prepare, cook and entertain with ease in a cosy, air-conditioned interior setting or just outside on a private sunlit terrace when guests drop in. Additionally, there is a garden shed, a car space, roller door and an outhouse toilet.

An outstanding opportunity of calm and comfort amid all of the north-side action, this delightful home offers further scope to improve if desired. Within effortless walking distance is High Street, Time Out’s ‘coolest street in the world’, which is jam-packed with cafes, restaurants, bars and shops, along with Northcote Plaza shopping, trams, train station, Westgarth cinema, schools (Northcote High School zone) and tranquil All-Nations Park.
