29 Manica Street, Brunswick West

Built circa 1947 and renovated in 2009, this beautifully kept family home has had the same loving owner for the last 33 years. Set amongst verdant gardens on a quiet residential street in the Moonee Valley, it has the charming feeling of a cottage, whilst situated close to the great cultural amenities of the vibrant Brunswick West market.

With its gleaming hardwood floors and a spacious, light filled rear living space, there’s the feeling of a modern home, but there’s still preserved period details (art-deco inspired moulding, decorative fireplace, leadlight glass) from its original construction.

The central kitchen (which boasts double dishdrawer, oven and ceramic cooktop) leads, through stylish arched pass-through window, to a huge living/dining area, where light streams in through large double glazed windows. Step out through French doors onto the serene rear deck, which soaks in the afternoon sun, and looks out onto a huge, bountiful olive tree.

The home offers two bedrooms (one with large BIR), a bathroom with shower and bath, laundry, meals area, and generously sized lounge with air conditioning and fireplace. There’s also a large rear garage and additional off-street parking space with ROW access, and under house storage.

The location is tucked away on a quiet street, yet still an easy walk from Union Square Shopping Mall, and a short drive from Moonee Ponds Central. The 58 tram runs nearby, and there’s easy access onto Citylink. You’re steps from the scenic Moonee Ponds Creek Trail, and within walking distance to Royal Park and Melbourne Zoo. Brunswick South West Primary School is mere metres away, and you’re zoned to Brunswick Secondary.

We donate a portion of our fee from every property transaction to the Woodards Foundation to support people experiencing homelessness, family violence and social isolation.
