81 Easey Street, Collingwood VIC 3066

Pretty as a picture with ornate parapet façade and intricate lattice-work verandah, this enchanting two-bedroom Victorian home beautifully intertwines the best of two eras. Filled with character and modern amenity, the home bestows quiet sanctuary in its tranquil residential area, while affording an effervescent lifestyle among the tantalising eateries, boutique retailers and city-bound transport of its trendy Smith Street surrounds.

Enveloped by soaring 11-foot ceilings adorned with rosettes and broad cornices, the home captures the charm of its era’s graceful architecture through two generous robed bedrooms, including a cast-iron fireplace to the front room, and mirrored wall-to-wall robes to the main.

A central living room effortlessly transforms daily relaxation to vibrant entertaining adjoining a bright fully appointed kitchen with pendant lighting. Spilling onto an alfresco deck, a leafy courtyard promotes indoor-outdoor enjoyment, offering private space for relaxation or barbecue gatherings under the shelter of a wide pergola and soaring palm tree.

Finished with a contemporary spa-bathroom styled with character flair, separate WC and large laundry, the home is a magical haven for laidback living, enriched by a convenient inner-city locale with easy access to the Eastern freeway, CBD, Yarra’s parklands and recreation, and Melbourne’s renowned sporting precinct.
