Northcote VIC 3070

Proudly elevated on exclusive Ruckers Hill, this architecturally renovated 4 bedroom red brick Edwardian delivers warmth and delight with its zoned family living in the popular Northcote High school zone.

A thoughtful renovation by Margo Studio architects maximises space and light while retaining original period details including lofty ornate ceilings, timber flooring, leadlight and original fireplaces. The home comprises 4 spacious bedrooms and 2 uniquely designed terracotta tiled bathrooms, with the full-sized en suite with bath from the generous first bedroom creating a private retreat. The kitchen of spotted gum cabinetry with walk-in pantry and exposed recycled brick backdrop adjoins a spacious living area. The kitchen and a large glazed dining room connect onto an entertainers' deck and the huge north-facing backyard with beautiful native landscape design by Bush Projects. On a lower level, a second living area/teenagers retreat awaits, complete with study nook, cosy wood fire and window seat with cafe window opening onto the garden. Additional features include passive cooling, hydronic heating, soaring skylights, beautiful bay windows, second entry, a cleverly incorporated laundry, service yard, outdoor fireplace, outdoor shed and easily accessed rear ROW.

Quietly nestled within one of Northcote's most sought-after pockets, this peaceful family sanctuary is enviably located on the high-side of a wide street, with vibrant High Street shops & cafes, All Nations parklands, popular schools, kindergartens and city bound transport all a short stroll away. It doesn't get better than this!
