24A Davies Street, Brunswick, Vic 3056

A picturesque period façade with prized off-street parking presents a grand introduction to this unique Victorian residence on a wide divided street near vibrant Sydney Road. Towering ornamental ceilings, polished Baltic pine floorboards and decorative open fireplaces grace the character-filled and superbly-updated interior of this elegant solid brick home offering a rare opportunity on a sizable city-edge block with decking and garden for relaxed outdoor enjoyment. An exceptional low-maintenance package of impressive proportions, private driveway entry and a classic projecting profile create a captivating presence that sets the tone for the spaces within that are brilliantly complemented for the utmost comfort by hydronic heating and split-system air-conditioning. A beautifully balanced, single-level layout filled with natural light is launched by a large north-facing bedroom with retrospective double-glazing and an inviting second bedroom where both feature bay windows, built-in robes and ornate original fireplaces. Central is a huge, 7-metre wide living and dining room warmed by a fabulous gas log fireplace that flows through to a stunning gourmet kitchen fitted with high-quality Neff and Miele appliances along with loads of storage and a stainless-steel breakfast bench. Further is a stylish dual-vanity bathroom including a shower, bathtub and a separate toilet, while a secluded courtyard garden with timber decking and lawn edged in leafy trees is a quiet place for alfresco entertaining. An unrivalled opening in the heart of Brunswick, this remarkable Victorian is enviably located merely metres to Sydney Road’s exciting stretch of cafes, restaurants and shops, along with parklands, schools, RMIT, trams and train station.
