Set behind a classic façade in a quiet residential street, this single-level home presents a compelling inner-north opportunity defined by character, land depth and lifestyle appeal. Retaining much of its original charm, the home features high ceilings, dark timber floorboards and a welcoming front living room anchored by a brick fireplace. A separate dining area sits adjacent, offering flexibility for everyday living or entertaining.
The kitchen and rear zones reflect the home’s evolution over time. Functional and comfortable as they stand, these spaces have a more rustic, layered character, providing immediate usability with clear scope to reconfigure or enhance in the future.
Two well-proportioned bedrooms continue the home’s period appeal, with high ceilings and large windows offering flexibility as bedrooms, guest accommodation or creative spaces. A tidy central bathroom and a separate study area positioned away from the main living spaces further support adaptable living.
Outdoors is a standout. A large covered pergola with timber decking, a paved courtyard and an unusually deep backyard with established trees create multiple zones for entertaining and relaxation. Backing directly onto Gilbrook Reserve, the property enjoys rare inner-suburb openness, greenery and privacy. A single car garage is accessed via a shared driveway.
The location brings together lifestyle and connectivity, with close proximity to the University of Melbourne and RMIT precincts, Sydney Road cafés, bars and shopping, Barkly Square, Union Square on Grantham Street, and a wide range of local grocers, bakeries and specialty stores. Transport options are excellent, with trams along Sydney Road and Grantham Street, nearby Jewell and Brunswick train stations, and a straightforward commute to the CBD.
Families and future occupants are well supported with zoning for local Brunswick primary schools and Brunswick Secondary College. Outdoor recreation is easily enjoyed with Princes Park, Royal Park, Temple Park, local playgrounds, green reserves and bike paths throughout the inner north all close by. Nearby favourites including Melbourne Zoo, Brunswick Baths and CERES Community Environment Park further enhance this leafy and well-connected setting.
Comfortable to live in now and rich with future potential, this is a home that rewards both lifestyle enjoyment and long-term vision.
We donate a portion of our fee from every property transaction to the Woodards Foundation to support people experiencing homelessness, family violence and social isolation.
