157 Nicholson Street, Coburg, Vic 3058

Raphael Houston proudly presents...

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.

Impressively positioned opposite the Merri Creek and CERES, the property is only steps from Sydney Road, Coburg Plaza, Coburg Recreation Centre, and leading local schools. Its central location places Pentridge SC and local restaurants, bars, and cafes within easy reach. Perfect for those with bikes (or the perfect reason to buy one), this property is a 10-minute ride to Fitzroy North, 15-minutes to Abbotsford, 15-minutes to High Street Thornbury, and 25-minutes into the City - all along scenic and serene bike paths. Alternatively, public transport is conveniently located nearby, with the 11 tram offering direct access through the vibrant inner north to the CBD.
