An outstanding Family classic in prized Westgarth setting
Gracing one of Westgarth’s most tightly held and community-minded pockets, this double-fronted, block-fronted Victorian presents a rare opportunity to secure timeless character, family-sized space, and scope for future transformation on an exceptional 637m² (approx.) allotment in a quiet no-through street—zoned to the highly regarded Northcote High School and footsteps from High Street’s renowned cafés, cinemas, and boutiques. Impeccably maintained by the same family for over 32years, this cherished home exudes an enduring sense of warmth and welcome. Beyond the cast iron lacework façade and original leadlight windows, a soaring arched hallway introduces a flexible four-bedroom (or 3 bedroom/2 living rooms) layout rich in period detail—timber floors, original fireplaces, and grand proportions throughout. The main bedroom enjoys garden outlooks and a recently renovated ensuite with walk-in robe, while the central lounge—framed by French doors—offers versatility as a teen retreat, playroom, or additional living domain.
A dedicated home office, generous family-sized laundry, updated insulation, solar panels, and evaporative cooling all reflect a thoughtful commitment to comfort and energy efficiency. The carefully designed kitchen ensures culinary functionality and family togetherness, adjoining a light-filled living and dining domain framed by large windows, opening onto a lush and deep backyard oasis complete with entertainers’ deck, mature plantings, and ROW-accessed garage/workshop. Whether extended, reimagined or simply enjoyed as is, the home provides the perfect balance of immediate liveability, peaceful retreat, and untapped future potential (STCA) in one of the inner north’s most cherished enclaves. With long-standing neighbours, a warm community spirit, and the convenience of Westgarth Station, trams, schools, and Merri Creek trails just moments away, this is a rare and remarkable offering—an address of distinction ready to embrace its next exciting chapter.
