23 Gladstone Avenue, Northcote, Vic 3070

Evoking a complete sense of contentment, this graceful three bedroom Edwardian offers the best of both worlds with its brilliant position, so close to everything yet surprisingly serene. Freestanding, beautifully lit and peppered with period features, it’s enriched by Baltic pine floors, high ceilings, deep cornices, rosettes, timber fretwork, coloured glass and attractive fireplaces. Sweeping from tranquil bedrooms, past a central lounge to a stylish and sunlit modern kitchen/dining, the residence flows to a covered deck above an easily maintained rear garden oasis, geared to alfresco enjoyment. 900mm Smeg appliances nestle among timber counters, complemented by an Asko dishwasher, Vintec Wine Fridge and mosaic tiled splashbacks in a kitchen bathed in northerly light. All bedrooms are handsomely proportioned, and they share a gleaming bathroom with rainfall shower and bath. Further featuring vintage light fittings, alarm system, heating/cooling, underfloor insulation, a storage attic and rear right of way, suggesting potential for off street parking (subject to relevant approvals), it’s a haven rich in detail. Tucked in a friendly enclave protected from traffic retaining a rare sense of community, it’s zoned to Northcote Primary and Northcote High. A short stroll can quickly take you to trains, trams, the attractions of renowned High Street and All Nations Park, and the city’s just a short commute.
