56 Donald Street, Brunswick

Behind its stunning brick façade, this Victorian terrace captures the character and warmth that makes Brunswick living so appealing. It’s a home where heritage charm meets city-fringe convenience, just moments from Sydney Road’s buzzing cafés and Tram Route 19.

A central hallway with soaring ceilings, ornate plasterwork and stained glass hints at the home’s rich history. Timber floors lead to a dramatic living space where double-height ceilings and a skylight fill the room with light. Exposed brickwork, timber panelling and an oversized stained-glass window add layers of texture and personality, while the wood fire alongside inbuilt shelving and wine storage sets the scene for relaxed winter evenings.

At the rear, a generous paved courtyard framed by landscaped gardens feels wonderfully private – perfect for long lunches, entertaining friends, or unwinding at the end of the day.

The kitchen is fitted with Bosch and Eurotag appliances, a tiled splashback and plenty of storage, keeping things practical without losing the home’s classic style. Both bedrooms continue the period charm with tall ceilings, timber floors, built-in cabinetry and original fireplaces – one with striking exposed brickwork. The bathroom is a showstopper in its own right, featuring timber panelling and a retro-style bath that gives it a unique, spa-like feel.

With a separate laundry, rear-access and thoughtful updates throughout, this is a home that’s as functional as it is full of character – a rare terrace that’s ready to enjoy in one of Brunswick’s most connected pockets.
