155 Victoria Road, Northcote

Privacy is key with this bright three bedroom Art Deco home, and a picket fence and thick manicured hedge in the front gardens guarantee it. More than just private, this delightful home zoned to Northcote High takes the clean lined architectural features of the era and highlights them against the contemporary finishes of today. Striking ceilings, picture rails and gothic doors in crisp white add character to the huge bedrooms and a free-flowing living and dining room where leadlight windows flanking a stylish open fireplace stream in natural light, while the neatly ordered kitchen, well appointed with stainless-steel appliances overlooks paved alfresco entertaining bordered by greenery with shade sails. The vintage bathroom retains its cast iron pedestal basin, there’s a separate laundry, powder room, heating/cooling throughout plus two car spaces accessed via Separation Street. An uplifting inner-north haven, it boasts fashionable High Street, choice of transport, Northcote Pool (under redevelopment), well-regarded schools, childcare and parks within walking distance.
