19 Jarvie Street, Brunswick East, Vic 3057

Built in 1906 for the policeman who worked at 2 Jarvie Street, this fascinating property has had a rich
and colourful history, with band members from 'Mental As Anything' living in the space which has also nurtured other creative types including sculptors, artists and musicians. At one point the fruit trees (still thriving) were used as a market garden, and the original feel of a creative, farm-like retreat in the heart of the city has been extended upon to full effect by the current owner. 1000L water tank and cent-a-meter electricity usage monitoring extend the emphasis on eco-friendly living.
Take a stroll through this property and it's easy to shut out the noise of the city; the boardwalk which winds through the enchanting northerly rear garden takes you to a secret portal to Methven Park, with the adjoining studio further extending the feeling of being peacefully tucked away in the woods. Charming lead-light, fretwork and polished floors convey the period personality, and the creatively renovated space includes an inviting entrance hall, three double bedrooms, fully renovated kitchen and living area, two bathrooms and back patio and decking shrouded in a tranquil, landscaped garden.
The renovated back studio and decking is surely the drawing-point of this property - come home, take your shoes off, and immerse yourself in nature.
Re-wired, re-plumbed and re-stumped, abundant roof-space storage areas, with full security and OSP, this home offers modern convenience, with a decidedly earth-friendly feel.
