Behind the familiar symmetry of this double-fronted Edwardian sits a home that has been entirely re-made for modern family life. Largely re-built, what remains is the quiet confidence of the original façade, complemented by beautiful leadlight windows at the front of the home and paired with a light-filled contemporary interior that feels generous, calm, and immediately liveable.
The floorplan is both expansive and practical. Five bedrooms are arranged to support family life as it evolves, with the flexibility to accommodate home offices, guest rooms, or quiet retreats. The main bedroom is set apart with its own walk-in robe and ensuite, while three further bedrooms include built-in or walk-in robes and are serviced by two central bathrooms - a genuine advantage for larger households.
At the rear, the home opens into a substantial living zone defined by soaring 3.8-metre ceilings, excellent natural light, and a sense of volume rarely found in Brunswick. A large living room with a fireplace flows into a separate dining area and an expansive, architecturally considered kitchen that anchors the home's living zone, highlighted by a striking drop-ceiling feature. Stone benchtops and splashbacks are paired with a butler's pantry and walk-in pantry, while premium Miele and Smeg appliances elevate both functionality and finish, whether cooking midweek meals or hosting extended family.
Engineered floorboards run throughout the home, enhancing warmth and continuity, while double-glazed windows and new insulation contribute to the home's quietness and thermal performance. Central heating and cooling ensure year-round comfort - these are details you feel rather than notice; the house simply works, day to day.
Sliding doors connect the living space to a covered outdoor alfresco area, overlooking an unusually deep and open rear garden. The lawn is genuinely expansive by inner-north standards, anchored by a mature fig tree and offering space for children to play, pets to roam, or long outdoor lunches with friends. It's a backyard that changes how the home can be used, and one that is increasingly difficult to find this close to the city.
The location completes the picture. Davies Street sits within easy walking distance of Sydney Road's cafés and restaurants, with Moreland Station close by for a straightforward CBD commute. The Merri Creek Trail offers green space and weekend walks, while nearby schools and Brunswick Private Hospital add everyday convenience.
This is a turnkey home with real substance, combining period presence, contemporary comfort, and a scale of land that is increasingly rare in Brunswick.
