54 Donald Street, Brunswick

Behind a stunning Hawthorn brick façade adorned with ornate brickwork and iron lacework, this beautiful Victorian terrace captures the heritage charm and warmth that makes Brunswick living so sought after. Perfectly positioned in a peaceful, tree-lined street within one of Brunswick’s most prized pockets, the home delivers an exceptional inner-city lifestyle just 6km from the CBD.

A sunlit central hallway reveals soaring ceilings, original plasterwork, and Baltic pine floors, immediately showcasing the home’s rich period character. The living room is bathed in afternoon sun, creating a warm and inviting space centred around an original open fireplace. Throughout the home, panel heating ensures cosy winter comfort, while thoughtful updates preserve the integrity of its heritage features.

The kitchen and dining zone opens directly to a private, leafy courtyard with established trees, offering a tranquil setting for entertaining friends, long lunches, and relaxed summer evenings. The connection between indoor and outdoor spaces makes everyday living and hosting effortless.

Both bedrooms are generous in size and continue the period elegance with tall ceilings, timber floors, and original fireplaces. The bathroom complements the home’s character, while a separate laundry adds everyday practicality. Sunlit interiors throughout enhance the sense of space and calm.

Adding further appeal is a substantial land holding, generous garage and workshop with mezzanine storage, rear lane access and exciting flexibility for a studio, creative space, work-from-home setup or future renovation or extension (STCA). A sunny front porch provides the perfect spot for a morning coffee, while the private rear garden offers a peaceful retreat.

The location is second to none. Enjoy a short walk to the buzz of Sydney Road and Lygon Street’s cafés, restaurants and nightlife, with a local grocery store at the end of the street and a primary school just moments away. Brunswick Baths, local parks and Merri Creek walking trails are all close by, while trams along Sydney Road and Lygon Street, Anstey Station and nearby cycling paths ensure an effortless commute to the CBD. A 5kW solar system further enhances the home’s sustainability credentials.

With its rare combination of heritage beauty, modern comfort, outdoor space and outstanding connectivity, this is a truly special Brunswick terrace ready to be enjoyed now and into the future.
