Mere steps from Sydney Road is one of the last bastions of cottagecore in this urban Brunswick pocket: an exquisite four-bedroom Edwardian weatherboard home that families looking to embrace the suburb’s renowned hip and multicultural elements will love.

Lofty ceilings, leadlight flourishes, hardwood timber flooring underfoot and ceiling rose-secured pendant lighting take centre stage throughout the property, offering a beautiful juxtaposition of old-world architecture against the urban living just steps from your front door.

This stunning period home offers generous proportions and an abundance of natural light, with expansive windows and French doors to the sunny deck and west-facing yard, from the functional open-plan living area. The spacious lounge room is adjacent to the kitchen, with its stainless-steel Bosch appliances, ample cabinetry, wine rack and island bench, which overlooks the dining area and garden.

Of the large bedrooms, you’ll find two at the home’s front, the third with a deep bay window looking into the backyard and the fourth – or perhaps home office, studio or rumpus room – up a secluded staircase with stunning timber wall panelling, split system, skylight and private balcony with garden views.

The central, newly renovated, sparkling bathroom exudes a relaxed romantic ambiance with its subway tiling and marblesque floors framing a freestanding clawfoot bathtub, toilet, walk-in shower and floating vanity; luxuriously finished with chic black trimmings and beautifully illuminated by an unencumbered skylight. Anyone else picturing themselves with candles, tunes and a glass of wine right now?

Final touches include separate laundry, under-stair storage and single car space via laneway.

Here, Brunswick’s vibrant locale is right on your doorstep. You’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to cafes, shops, restaurants and bars, both along Sydney Road and peppered throughout the backstreets, while community spaces like Brunswick Baths and myriad parklands and trails make it easy for you and the kids to get your bodies moving. Finally, Brunswick Station and Sydney Road trams both promise a breezy trip to and from Melbourne’s CBD and a variety of primary and secondary schools (as well as RMIT University’s Brunswick campus) fall within a three-kilometre radius of home.

Full of character, this property is an exceptional investment for a growing family. Will you make it yours?
