135 Barkly Street, Brunswick East, Vic 3057

'Skipton', the end terrace of a row of four, is a classic balcony residence, presenting an ornate lace-trimmed and pedimented faade. Located in Brunswick's renovation heartland, it is solid and liveable, offering potential for restoration and renovation.

An arched hallway opens through a cutout wall to a pair of well-proportioned living rooms separated by a central fireplaces - marble mantelled on one side, timber on the other. One of these rooms has French doors to a side courtyard. The hall turns to a large dining area with a wood-burning stove and a 'celestial window' from a renovation done some years ago. A functional kitchen at the rear has a door to the laundry and downstairs toilet. It looks out over a deep north-facing paved courtyard.

Timber-balustraded stairs lead to three bedrooms. The impressively large main bedroom has a view over the balcony to the CBD. All three bedrooms have good natural light. There is a tiled bathroom with shower over the bath.

Period features such as fireplaces, plasterwork and polished floors have been retained. The location is excellent - Lygon Street is just around the corner, and Barkly Square is within easy walking distance.
