142 Donald Street

Brunswick VIC 3056

A 772sqm* offering with three separate frontages and total separation from the nearby buzz, this early-twentieth-century rarity stands as one of the most endearing, evocative, and altogether extraordinary homes to grace the Brunswick landscape. Set back and wrapped in flora to mark every arrival with real occasion, a commanding faade preludes interiors blending sublime sunlight, stunning scale, and a sense of calm rare so close to the city. A generous master with its own ensuite, two further bedrooms, and a second bathroom all feature downstairs for easy one-level living, while above, sweeping views, a smart third bathroom, and robe-lined bedrooms four and five promise ample room for the growing family. With exquisite pressed metal, timber, and glass details joining an original iron range in keeping heritage alive, a central living area, dining room, rear sitting space, and first-class kitchen merge with a side deck and veranda, winding garden path, and backyard shaped around a 300-year-old native Kurrajong tree, forming an indoor-outdoor suite to comfortably host the largest events. Hydronic heating salvaged from Melbourne Grammar boarding house, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, a garden-viewing office, abundant storage, a butlers pantry, woodfire pizza oven, and rear garage all add to the appeal, while Merri Creek, city trams, East Brunswick Village shops, and iconic Sydney Road and Lygon Street sit steps away. Being offered by its second-ever owners, the Federation-era landmark is an opportunity like no other.
