White-picket perfection with a vogue touch, this gorgeous three-bedroom Northcote home promises a warm and welcoming lifestyle that's equal parts ideal and idyllic for families.

Beautifully renovated and with vestiges of period glamour and retro charm throughout – think polished floorboards, elegant ceiling roses, leadlight windows, an original fireplace, tiny zellige-style bathroom tiles and an exquisite mint green kitchen splashback and cabinetry – this residence is imbued with the kind of cosiness, comfort and character that makes a house a home.

A front lounge and adjacent dining room set the scene for more intimate gatherings, and easily connect with the bright kitchen and its quality five-burner cooktop, exceptional storage and bench space that overlooks a bigger, more relaxed living space and beyond to a veritable backyard oasis.

An Eden-like retreat where bountiful flora, lush grass and a sunny veggie patch thrive, this wonderfully sizable garden – a rarity in Melbourne’s inner suburbs – will beckon with its revitalising tranquility. It won’t be long before you’re enticed outdoors with your morning cuppa, after-work tipple or to entertain guests and throw vibrant kids parties. So wonderfully insulated by nature, it’ll even whisk the sound of the property’s bustling main road frontage away.

Back inside you’ll find three bedrooms: two at the front, one with ensuite; and one larger and brighter room towards the back looking into the backyard (with potential to be a serene home office), while the bathroom has been cleverly renovated to include a European laundry that seamlessly integrates with room’s the shower and bath, vanity and separate toilet – all accessible from the backyard.

Final touches include central heating, split system air conditioning and large garden shed, plus street parking.

Positioned in a fabulous Northcote pocket – and on the cusp of Thornbury and Alphington no less – you’ll be, quite literally, moments away from every one of life’s comforts and necessities. You’ll fall within the catchment areas for a number of schools; have a choice of busses, trams and both Mernda and Belgrave train lines; easy access to All Nations and McDonell parks, and walking and cycling trails throughout Merri Creek and Darebin Parklands; and the abundance of shops, cafes and restaurants to be found along High Street and Darebin Road and in the backstreets beyond.
