Brunswick VIC 3056

One of Brunswick's most iconic homes, this Iron Cottage (c1854) on the edge of Princes Hill represents a rare connection with Melbourne's gold-rush past with its distinctive iron-clad facade and original Victorian features combined with an impressive extension and quality enhancements throughout. Historically significant, the home itself delivers a truly twenty-first century lifestyle comprising four bedrooms (two extra-large with BIRs) complemented by a period-inspired bathroom complete with clawfoot tub. Enhancing its contemporary credentials is a spacious formal lounge and expansive open-plan living/dining area with vaulted roofline accompanied by a stone-bench kitchen with Asko dishwasher and new Smeg oven. Other stand-out features include solar power, ducted heating and split-system a/c, high ceilings, solid timber floors and internal laundry facilities. Step outside to discover a private north-facing courtyard with extensive paving/entertaining area and high hedges for added privacy, plus a handy storage shed and two off-street parking spaces. Perfect for inner-city families or work-from-home professionals, walking distance to Sydney Road and Lygon Street trams, cafes and restaurants, Jewell Station and Barkly Square Shopping Centre, it's also close to popular schools, hospital and university precincts, Capital City Trail and the open spaces of Princes Park.
