THE DEAL

Smart, sophisticated, and situated between vibrant Station Street and tranquil Darebin Creek, this contemporary prize offers generous space, clever comfort, yield credentials, and immediacy to the best of the inner north.

Benefiting from its own garage, second car space, solid timber floors, laundry, powder room/third WC, and reverse-cycle heating/cooling, the home stands out from the norm with its quality of finish, wealth of sunlight, and considered use of space. Stepping onto its own full-width balcony with calming outlooks across Thornbury High’s lush grounds, a magnificent master is joined by a sizeable guest room in featuring its own ensuite and walk-in robe, with accommodation cleverly kept separate from main spaces below. Sun streams in from the north to cover a wide-open living/dining area, with any occasion well-served by a stone-top kitchen boasting Smeg and Bosch appliances.

Quietly hidden away while never far from the heart of the action, it’s no more than moments to Darebin Sports Centre, the winding creek trail, city transport options, Preston’s famous market, Northland retail, golf courses skirting the Yarra, Northcote’s state-of-the-art aquatic centre, and the cuisine, shopping, and nightlife of Fairfield Village and High Street.

SEALS THE DEAL

Two sets of stacker glass transform the home into a dream-entertainer, taking living and dining zones onto a covered alfresco deck for Sunday barbecues and drinks on a summer evening.
