Some homes have an immediate pull. This clinker-brick beauty rises proudly behind manicured terraced gardens, with ironwork detailing and a steep roofline hinting at timeless design. Inside, discover a home full of personality, warmth and surprising versatility. The living room is the first to enchant, with polished floorboards, picture windows capturing beautiful views, and a Jetmaster fireplace framed by a classic mantel. It's a space that feels just right whether it's a relaxed Sunday afternoon or a winter evening by the fire. Beyond, the dining room and adjoining sitting room keep gatherings connected yet distinct. The kitchen has a skylight above and character all around, with rich timber cabinetry, stone benchtops, stainless steel dishwasher, underbench oven and gas cooktop. A light-filled sunroom makes the most of its northern aspect, creating a calm spot to sit back and relax with a book or morning coffee. Outside, a brick-paved patio surrounded by gardens is perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining in the fresh air. Sleeping accommodation is well-zoned, with the main bedroom offering built-in robes and positioned alongside a central bathroom enhanced by a timber vanity. A second bedroom sits peacefully on the opposite side of the house, while downstairs a third bedroom and adjoining study create a brilliant retreat for teenagers, extended family or those working from home. The home is completed by a garage, powder room, laundry, gas ducted central heating, reverse-cycle air conditioning, and ornate ceilings adding to the charm. The location puts lifestyle front and centre. Surrounded by the natural environment and green wedge of the Merri Creek corridor, the home is within walking distance of the No. 1 East Coburg tramline, with guaranteed seating at the Nicholson and Bell Street terminus. A second stop at Harding Street is reached via the picturesque pedestrian suspension bridge linking West Preston and East Coburg. Bell Station, Bell Street buses, and the No. 11 West Preston tramline at Gilbert Road are also close by. From here, shop and dine at Preston Central and South, unwind at WH Robinson or De Chene Reserve, or follow the Merri Creek bike trail and beyond. Schools including Bell Primary, Sacred Heart Primary and Coburg High are all within reach, completing this enticing family- friendly package.
