106 Helen Street, Northcote

Subscribe to regular market updates. Set in one of Northcote’s most loved pockets, this charming two-bedroom Victorian terrace pairs its original character with understated modern comfort. Just steps to High Street and moments to the CBD-bound tram and train, it offers the ease and energy people seek in the inner-north. The hallway sets the tone, framed by an original corbelled arch, decorative ceilings, picture rails and a mantled fireplace that all speak to the home’s heritage. The U-shaped layout incorporates a laid-back family domain, while the contemporary kitchen/meals feature stainless-steel cooking appliances, a dishwasher drawer, ample soft-close cabinetry and a breakfast bar. At the rear, a covered paved area opens to a garden that feels private and practical year-round. The bonus of a lock-up garage plus additional off-street parking via the rear laneway is rare for this part of Northcote and adds real convenience. Further highlights include a split system unit, panel heater, floorboards, main built-in robes and a sparkling bathroom with laundry facilities. Zoned to Northcote High and less than 6.5 km from the city, the home is surrounded by what makes this area so loved: cafés and wine bars, boutique retail, All Nations Park, Northcote Plaza and a choice of childcare and transport options.
