195 Barkly Street, Brunswick, Vic 3056

A rare discovery on the booming Carlton/Brunswick border, this unique double-storey bluestone residence is as good as gold highlighting warm character-filled spaces, modern features, side off street parking and huge north-facing rear entertainers' garden. This marvellous mid-1800s home was extended up from cottage origins after a handy goldfield's find and, tightly held for the past 24 years, is ready to continue the tradition of relaxed indoor/outdoor living with scope to grow again if desired. Stroll to Lygon Street, Sydney Road and Princes Park from this 248m2 (approx.) property featuring three bedrooms (two with built-in-robes), hearty dining flowing to paved backyard with BBQ, evocative two-room living area, open fireplaces, quality contemporary kitchen, family bathroom, gas space heating and polished floorboards.
