16 Blanche Court, Coburg North

Mid-century villa vibes define the current spaces of this classically comfortable two bedroom home, complemented by a quiet court location that puts F Cox Reserve, Newlands Primary School and Gilbert Road shops all within quick, convenient reach. The traditional character of the façade sets the tone for an interior format featuring hardwood floorboards, a generous living room, separately zoned dining area and an updated kitchen while two bedrooms are accompanied by a flexible retreat and a central bathroom that remains entirely serviceable. The rear garden's entertaining deck, free-standing studio, storage shed and carport illustrate the appeal of an allotment that can readily accommodate additions and renovations to today's residence in a setting that can also inspire ideas for re-inventing the entire address, STCA.
