16 Frederick Street, Brunswick VIC 3056

A Victorian with room to spread out, all on one level. This double-fronted home brings together generous proportions, lovely natural light and period charm, with a deep, wide garden giving you just as much reason to spend time outside. There’s plenty to enjoy as it stands, along with scope to renovate and extend when the time is right, subject to council approval. Inside, a central hallway with polished timber floorboards leads past two large double bedrooms, with floor-to-ceiling robes in the main. The bedrooms share a slate-finished bathroom. A light-filled central living area with a firebox and an adjacent dining area provide generous space to relax or have friends over, while a separate, well-equipped kitchen and meals area connects to an additional living area at the rear. Double-glazed bifold doors open from the second living space to a wide deck, with room for alfresco dining overlooking the leafy north-easterly garden. There’s space beyond for gardening and play, while a side driveway provides off-street parking, a welcome feature in this inner-city setting. Other features include European laundry, hydronic heating, storage and a garden shed. Set in a leafy residential street, it’s a short walk to Sydney Road’s cafes, restaurants and shops, Anstey Station, trams and schools, giving you good reason to leave the car at home.
