Raphael Houston proudly presents...
This property's rich, classical style has only grown more significant with the passage of time. Ignoring modern design trends and remaining loyal to its mid-century influences, the property is sensibly balanced, comfortably configured, and unapologetically authentic.
The floor plan naturally centres around the kitchen, which continues to flaunt the mosaic tiling and timber panel aesthetic that was so on-trend in its day. It connects with the main dining area and through a rear door, leading out onto landscaped, east-facing gardens. Along with a main living zone and its front gardens, the backyard offers extensive entertaining space and benefits from a kitchenette and fireplace in the garage.
It is a matter of opinion whether the property's original features call for contemporary improvement. From the sidewalk, it is clear the original architecture remains in keeping with the historic appeal of the streetscape, and the spaces continue to be comfortably livable as they are. However, internal adjustments and aesthetic updates are always encouraged as new purchasers pursue their own artistic vision. Investors and builders are invited to go further if they wish, and may apply to redevelop the site (STCA).
Within walking distance of Coburg North Plaza, this property places numerous local parks, leading schools, and Sydney Road within immediate reach. Coburg Lake, Pentridge SC, and Merlynston & Batman stations are right nearby.
