CHARACTER, SPACE, LOCATION! A flexible two-level floor plan, period detail and a prime address make this block-fronted Victorian very special. A leafy cottage garden and bullnose verandah provide immediate street appeal. The traditional arched central hallway opens through etched glass doors to two bedrooms overlooking the garden; one of these, with gas-insert open fireplace, might be used as a formal sitting room. The third ground floor bedroom (with storage), a sunny dining room, and a functional tiled spa bathroom occupy the central section of the house. Set to the rear, an expansive living room, informal meals area (with gas log fire and airconditioning) and a country-style kitchen open to a verandah and the garden, which has car access from a right of way. Here, mature fruit trees, a wisteria-clad pergola and beds watered by new rainwater tanks make it hard to realize that the CBD is only a short tram or train ride away! Past the full-size laundry, stairs lead up to two further bedrooms, the larger bedroom with a deck overlooking the garden. Sound and comfortable as it is, this inviting house offers potential for further renovation in ever-popular central Northcote. The quiet tree-lined street is just minutes from two tram routes and Croxton Station, close to cafes, excellent shopping facilities and schools. See it and be delighted!
