Evocative Edwardian with room to revitalise

A single door removed from the leafy Capital City Trail winding beside Merri Creek and the Yarra River to the east and through Princes and Royal Parks to the west, this captivating home offers Edwardian comfort with scope to further enliven.

Its position simply second to none with the buzz of Brunswick, Carlton, and Fitzroy close by, the home’s timeless façade remains as charismatic today as it was over a century ago, with iron lacework, a wide veranda, fireplace, leadlight and sash windows, Baltic pine floors, and high ceilings serving to accentuate period appeal. With outstanding dimensions displayed throughout, a wonderfully workable plan sees central and back living areas easily converted to augment accommodation in front main and guest rooms, while a bath, shower, and integrated laundry feature in an oversized, modern bathroom. Tall, mature greenery affords complete privacy in a broad backyard, while other highlights include air conditioning, ample storage, and a large kitchen/meals area with extensive cabinet space and gas cooking.

Supreme convenience means a car is rarely required, placing Brunswick South Primary and Princes Hill Secondary (both zoned), trams bound for hospitals, universities, and the CBD, and the coffee, cuisine, retail, and nightlife of lively Lygon Street, Rathdowne Street, Nicholson Street, and St Georges Road within walking distance.
