Surrounded by fragrant citrus trees and bordered by pink camellias and rose bushes, this mid-century family home is an homage to the new-found dolce vita of Italo-Australians, sure to make all you Calabrese do the mambo like you're crazy.
Immaculate throughout - from its carefully-swept portico to its bright, beautiful floral carpets and charming retro light fittings - this home will impress vintage enthusiasts, family purchasers and property investors alike.
Sitting on a generous parcel of land (399sqm approx.) in a leafy pocket of Brunswick West, it enjoys a flowing semi-open floorplan focused around the home's heart: a spacious and naturally bright formal living room and attached dining zone enhanced by decorative tiles, high ceilings and gas wall heater. The pristine retro kitchen has seen its fair share of espresso and delicious sugo, featuring plentiful wood-finished storage, ample bench space, double sink, Chef stove and vintage tiling to love. Carry on the tradition of dining alfresco with family under the shady concreted portico, surveying both orange and fig trees - and the all-important Hills Hoist!
Sleep soundly in a selection of three comfortably carpeted double bedrooms with local vistas, all in easy distance of the immaculate 'see it to believe it' original 1960s duck-egg blue and pink bathroom with perfect pearl-finished vanity, mirrored storage, separate bath and shower. A bathroom bursting with charm and originality, a pristine piece of post war Australian architectural history.
Other benefits of this mid-century beauty include laundry room with storage, separate toilet, side-drive with garage and two rear handyman storage rooms, ducted cooling keeps everything comfortable.
The property and allotment may offer further potential for remodelling and development (STCA). Optimally positioned between Melville and Sydney Roads, serviced by trains, trams and buses (Albion St) and close to Brunswick North Primary School and Jacobs & Dunstan Reserve, this show stopping brick family home is a unique time-machine to the high Italian style of the 1960's.
