5/52 Lorensen Avenue, Coburg North

Few homes in Coburg North can claim a park as a neighbour. This striking tri-level townhouse is part of a boutique development where bold corrugated iron, exposed brick, and render create a facade as considered as the interiors within. Designed for those who appreciate both design and practicality, it offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and a direct park-facing position that puts Bain Reserve literally at the back door.

The ground floor sets a composed tone: a light-filled study with built-in storage and a north-facing outlook provides the ideal work-from-home setup, while the epoxy-floored garage accommodates the car with laundry concealed neatly beneath the stairs.

Coming up the first floor, the home opens into a generously proportioned open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space finished in warm timber flooring and bathed in natural light. The stone benchtop kitchen is a centrepiece, featuring a four-burner Franke gas cooktop, Franke oven, a frosted-window splashback that floods the space with diffused light, a large breakfast bar, and gallery-style recessed spotlights. Sliding doors extend the living area out to a balcony with leafy park views, perfect for morning coffee or evening entertaining. A convenient powder room completes this level.

The top floor is entirely devoted to rest and retreat, with both bedrooms featuring built-in robes, elegant wall sconces, and generous ensuite bathrooms finished in floor-to-ceiling stone-textured & kit kat tiling with floating vanities, oversized rainfall showerheads, and dual shower configurations. Comfort is covered throughout with Actron Air split-system air conditioning in every room, roller-door garage access, and a separate linen closet on the upper floor.

The Merlynston Train Station is just a short walk away, with the Upfield line connecting directly to the CBD, and multiple bus routes including the 534 route stopping nearby. The Merlyn Street local shops, the buzzing Sydney Road strip, and Hosken Reserve are all within a comfortable stroll. Coburg North Primary, St Mark’s Catholic Primary, Pascoe Vale North
