4/40-50 Stockade Avenue, Coburg VIC 3058

Few inner-suburban homes offer an incredible balance of urban convenience and connection to nature as well as this three-bedroom townhouse in the heart of Coburg’s renowned Pentridge estate.

Positioned in an established street, the striking juxtaposition of tall, lush green trees and the home’s rich red render create a bright yet soothing atmosphere; one that’s evident none more so than in the open-plan kitchen, lounge and dining before spilling out onto a cosy balcony where you’re, quite literally, in the treetops. How’s the serenity?

Whether it's whipping up feast for family and friends or dinner for two, the open-plan layout seamlessly accommodates both large gatherings and intimate soirées. The kitchen features a stainless steel cooktop and oven, dishwasher, full-length pantry and ample storage, ensuring the cooking and the clean up are breezy.

Upstairs you’ll find the three bedrooms. The master features a walk-in robe, ensuite, split-system and private secluded balcony perfect for taking in the verdant views, while the other two bedrooms, each with built-in robes, share direct entry to a bathroom with luxe rain shower and skylight.

Additional features include secure double-car garage via laneway, internal entry, intercom, private outdoor storage area and ducted heating.

And the location is exceptional. Moving away from its dark past and into the light, the heritage-listed Pentridge is now home to cafes, restaurants, a brand new shopping precinct and the Palace Cinemas, all which are just a casual walk from home.

You’re also moments from the excitement of Sydney Road, all forms of public transport, a swathe of schools under a kilometre away, the weekly Coburg Farmers Market, Coburg Lake and the Merri Creek Trail.

In an area that has consistently seen growth and with the Pentridge hub only set to build on its current vibrance, this is a beautiful family home that will keep on giving long after the kids are well and grown.
