1/29 Hayes Street, Northcote, Vic 3070

THE DEAL
Hidden a single street from the cafes, restaurants, and nightlife of uber-fashionable High Street, this smart, stylish, and endlessly sophisticated residence offers luxe, low-maintenance access to the coveted Northcote lifestyle.

The home’s calibre of appointment befitting its prestige placement, a sumptuous interior enjoys separation between entertaining and accommodation, with three impressive, downstairs bedrooms accompanied by walk-in and built-in robes, an in-vogue central bathroom, and ensuite to master. Windows spanning northern, eastern, and southern sides, a wonderfully open second storey proves a haven for hospitality, with a Miele-equipped kitchen’s waterfall island acting as the space’s striking centrepiece. Living and dining zones flow onto an entertainer’s terrace with sweeping, leafy vistas, while other highlights include a fitted professional’s study, upstairs powder room, trendy tiles to bathrooms, European oak floors, a European laundry, remote-controlled garage, and additional driveway space. Its superb position means a car is rarely needed, with Northcote Plaza, Croxton Station, numerous trams, All Nations Park, and zoned Wales Street/St Mary’s Primary Schools all just steps away.

SEALS THE DEAL
Its design approach promises distinction from the new-home norm, with an exposed-brick feature wall and swathes of high-grade marble forming a chic, memorable palette.
