56 Walsh Street, Coburg

Enjoying a commanding corner position, this stunning two-bedroom home melds luxurious period architecture and modern finishes that unlocks old-meets-new style with timeless appeal in the heart of Coburg.

Lofty ceilings, opulent archways and dark, rich timber floorboards throughout immediately beguile as you make your way down the hall, dappled in soft warm light by ornate glass pendants, to a truly impressive kitchen and living domain.

Stainless steel appliances and a dishwasher are framed by exceptional storage options and black stone benchtops, all beautifully illuminated by a dramatic skylight above the sink – a feature mirrored in the living room. The hero here, though, is the dramatic bulkhead that frames the cathedral ceiling; equipped with dimmer lighting, you’ll be able to set the mood for any occasion.

Off the front hall you’ll find two generous bedrooms, each featuring built-in robes, plantation shutters and, the pièce de résistance, a cast iron fireplace, while a sparkling bathroom with spa bath, laundry room, powder room and exit to a cosy timber-decked backyard reside down the back hall from the living room.

Finally, the position is impeccable. Whether it's to shops and eateries or public transport and parklands, here everything is within comfortable walking distance – yes, even in the thick of Coburg suburbia. To the east, the Merri Creek Trail and its numerous parklands is roughly a kilometre away; while to the west, Sydney Road and its connections all the way to the CBD is a gentle 500 metre stroll.
