167 Johnston Street, Collingwood, Vic 3066

A city-fringe retreat set back from the street with entry via side laneway and rear ROW access, this unique 2 bedroom and study residence extends over 2 enticing levels to a large rear courtyard that's private, peaceful and full of possibilities. This distinctive terrace retains its heritage character both up and downstairs with towering ceilings and polished timber floors framing a series of bright, flexible spaces enhanced by deft contemporary touches, that with Commercial 1 zoning, suggest more to come. At the heart of the action near Smith & Brunswick Streets, Yarra parkland and train station, this Victorian home includes glorious north-facing main bedroom (or lounge) with marble OFP, living room, smart kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, stylish modern bathroom, laundry/powder room and loads of smart storage.
