A rare centenary home prestigiously positioned within Coburg's historic eastern district, comprehensive improvements inside & out have thoroughly transformed the property, preserving its period charm while orienting it towards its contemporary context.
With a commanding street presence, the double fronted Californian facade is adorned with fretwork and plaster straps as landscaped gardens guide you from the street to the front porch.
Inside, a large lounge and dining domain is organised around an open fireplace and a set of French doors that connect to the north-facing alfresco. Offering outdoor entertaining on a lavish scale, the deck links with a wraparound patio, establishing itself underneath a large undercover entertaining area.
Enjoying gorgeous leafy perspectives of the backyard, the kitchen is a glamorous example of homemaking finesse. It features stone surfaces, shaker cabinetry, premium appliances, and a central serving island with breakfast bar.
Accommodation requirements are met by two children's bedrooms with BIR, a family bathroom, and a superb master suite with an oversized WIR and private bathroom.
With exquisite period features adorning each room, the property includes ceiling rosettes, decorative lighting, split-system heating & cooling, solar panels, polished timber flooring, a secure garage, and secure off-street parking.
