Classic Beauty With Fantastic Potential
Packed with original charm on a generous 776m2 block, this c.1950s brick veneer beauty is ready to make lasting memories with a lucky new family. Lovingly maintained by the same owners for over 53 years, all that's needed are a few modern touches to make this strong family home truly shine.
Spacious front and rear gardens bookend this uniquely triple fronted property with a terracotta roof to complete the picture. Rathmines Street is wide and tree-lined for great parking both on and off site, with this tightly held pocket home to generations of families making for fantastic neighbours on all sides.
Inside is capacious and light-filled thanks to the soaring ceilings with attractive plaster cornices throughout, most notably in the large formal lounge with gas heater and the adjoining formal dining area that flows ahead into the separate tidy kitchen and meals area.
All three bedrooms are generous in size with a built-in robe to the first, and all are serviced by the full central bathroom alongside a separate toilet and laundry room. At the rear of the home is a bright sunroom-style study that's ideal for a home office, kids play area or games room.
Outside offers an abundance of entertaining space, all bordered by the established gardens with quality plants, healthy fruit trees and a handy garden shed. Side access is available via the securely gated carport, with the extra-wide driveway adding to the ample off-street parking on the block.
Stroll, play and cycle through nearby Andrew Boyd Reserve, John Cain Memorial Park and the Darebin Creek Trail, while several reputable schools are in close proximity including Wales Street Primary School, Holy Spirit Primary School, Ivanhoe Grammar schools, Santa Maria College and Northcote High.
Enjoy easy access to Northland Shopping Centre and its surrounding factory outlets, while further shops, cafes and restaurants are just minutes away in bustling High Street and lively Station Street alongside access to bus, train and tram transport through upper Melbourne hotspots and straight into the CBD.
