8 Barrow Street, Coburg VIC 3058

One for the renovators, the creatives and the visionaries, the ones who look at this three-bedroom Victorian-era home on a corner allotment in Coburg’s backstreets – literally moments from Sydney Road’s best yet still in a quiet enough position to soak up the tranquility of suburban living – and see its endless potential to be refreshed and recreated or redeveloped anew (STCA)

Outside you’re greeted with a charming weatherboard facade framed by trees and a cosy porch at the front; inside, you’re met with beautifully high ceilings adorned with ceiling roses, picture railings along the walls, carpeted floors and hallway arches. It’s weathered, sure. But it’s delightfully easy to see it’s also a stunning framework awaiting rejuvenation.

Past the bedrooms and lounge/dining you’ll find the kitchen with oven furnace, a stunning decorative piece and homage to the home’s previous incarnation, as well as a storage pantry and bathroom with shower and bathtub. Beyond, a door to the backyard will lead you to the laundry, storage room and powder room, all of which are dotted across a large grassy garden leading to the double car garage from Blair Street. There is also a ROW at the rear of the property.

You’re in a fabulous position, too. Here you can make the most of your fuel mileage by saving the car/s for those long distance adventures and instead get your steps up, because virtually everything you need is within walking distance. At its shortest, it takes just two minutes to reach the numerous trams and buses running along Nicholson Street, Sydney Road and Moreland Road, while Moreland Train Station is no more than a 10-minute stroll. You’re also surrounded by an eclectic array of boutiques, cafes and restaurants that Sydney Road and the Moreland/Nicholson corner are renowned for, as well as a variety of primary and secondary schools.
