121 Barkly Street, Brunswick East, Vic 3057

This wide block-fronted Edwardian, just around the corner from fine Lygon Street cafes and transport, has been expertly renovated and extended to create a family residence combining period charm with contemporary light-filled space. Entry from the fretwork-arched front verandah is to a wide central hallway with polished timber floors, opening to three large bedrooms (all with quality built-in wardrobes) and a stunning fully-tiled bathroom, with separate bath and shower and dual basins. Above the full size laundry and second WC is a huge lined loft space. To the rear of the house, a vast living and dining zone, with gabled ceiling and clerestory windows, is open to the kitchen, superbly fitted with quality appliances (including an integrated dishwasher), stone benchtops and gleaming cabinetry. A small courtyard with water feature runs off one side of the living zone; French doors to the rear lead to a long verandah overlooking the large paved and landscaped north-facing garden, which has car access from a right-of-way. This inviting property features plantation shutters, evaporative cooling, ducted heating and an alarm system.
