2 Ross Street, Northcote, Vic 3070

Tucked at the quiet, coveted end of one of Westgarth’s most exclusive enclaves, this rare inner-north sanctuary directly behind Merri Creek delivers a breathtaking blend of country calm and cosmopolitan ease—an opportunity seldom found and even harder to match. Enveloped in birdlife and greenery, it delivers a unique sense of escape, just moments from the vibrant pulse of High Street, Westgarth Village, cafés, cinemas, city-bound trains, acres of trails and parklands plus sporting/recreation ovals and leading schools.

Beyond its classic façade, the home unfolds with a warm and welcoming charm. Recently refreshed for contemporary ease, it retains its timeless character with polished timber floors and sash windows, while introducing thoughtful updates that elevate everyday living. Three bedrooms and a modern bathroom are complemented by a generous light-filled living domain, flowing seamlessly to a charming separate kitchen and meals area designed for connection and comfort. Step outside to an expansive backyard that feels more hinterland hideaway than city fringe, with a large undercover entertainer’s deck leading to a sprawling, landscaped garden haven, complete with fire pit and freestanding studio/home office nestled under the trees. It’s a rare retreat made for long lunches, slow weekends, and quiet morning coffee with the birdsong of Merri Creek as your soundtrack. Additional highlights include split system heating/cooling, a substantial laundry, off-street parking via side driveway, and endless lifestyle appeal in one of the inner north’s most tightly held pockets. This is a home that speaks to those who want it all: beauty, space, serenity, and serious inner-city credentials. Welcome to Westgarth’s best-kept secret!
