Welcome to a unique piece of history, once owned and lived in by the "Gower" family themselves: beyond its bluestone faade this captivating double fronted cottage is an enticing four bedroom home, linked to a single fronted brick shop. Long a witness to history, featuring bluestone believed to be quarried along Darebin Creek around 150 years ago, the house showcases soaring ceilings, open fireplaces, decorative details and Baltic pine floorboards. Enticing spaces include a sunny central lounge with decorative marble fireplace and generous, fully equipped kitchen/dining, while the large open design of the shop brims with possibilities. Comfortably proportioned bedrooms include a flexible front room that alternatively serves beautifully as a second living space. A deep relaxing tub is a bathroom highlight, a laundry leads to a separate toilet and there's also a workshop/storage area. Serene gardens at the front, side and rear add tranquillity and off street parking, accessing Gower Street, comes with electric gate access. A ROW runs behind the property, which has only one immediate neighbour courtesy of its corner position. Transport is right out front while cafes, schools, reserves and buzzing High Street are also close by. An exceptional opportunity to appreciate rare character in a highly convenient locale, this extraordinary family home awaits the next chapter.
