13 Jenkins Street, Northcote, Vic 3070

As the thriving inner-north grows more desirable by the day, this original family home remains a character-rich reflection of its trendy surroundings in the heart of Northcote. Beautifully presented with no end of architectural charm, all that’s needed is a lucky new family to enjoy this exceedingly rare opportunity for truly timeless comfort.
 
Held by just two owners in its entire history, this home is a true treasure trove of story and soul. The gorgeous original façade is complemented by lovely garden frontage, a classic front porch, and off-street parking for one car. Inside, timber flooring and high ceilings make an immediate impression, bringing a stately warmth to the three bright bedrooms and elegant central lounge with its original fireplace.
 
The master bedroom offers its own sense of luxury with a fully functional open fireplace – a stunning feature that creates a cosy ambience. Further elevating the home’s character is the striking bathroom/wet room which has been photographed by leading architectural photographers including John Gollings and featured in both Australian and international design magazines, once described as the Jewel in the Crown.
 
Clever updates ensure easy living without compromising the home’s enduring charm. The fantastically functional kitchen boasts timber benchtops, modern stainless-steel appliances, and abundant storage, all overlooking the spacious family/dining area where magnificent, curved bay windows soar to the ceiling in an enchanting interplay of space and sunlight.
 
Step outside to the serene alfresco patio for effortless entertaining, with further patio space and a wood-fire pizza oven nestled amidst the private sanctuary of the large rear garden – established with lush greenery, water tanks, extra storage/workshop, and ample scope for future extension or additions (STCA). Additional features include an underground wine cellar, hydronic heating, separate laundry, and securely gated side access. Modern sustainability is also thoughtfully integrated with 17 rooftop solar panels and a Breezair fully ducted cooling system for energy-efficient comfort year-round.
 
Tucked into a quiet residential pocket, this coveted locale places you just a stroll from All Nations Park and Northcote Plaza, with High Street’s vibrant café culture, boutique shopping, and cosmopolitan dining moments away. Zoning for Northcote High School, proximity to Croxton Station and High Street trams, plus easy access to Preston Market, Station Street Fairfield, Northland, and the Eastern Freeway – this is lifestyle living at its best.
