41-43 Barrow Street, Coburg, Vic 3058

Seeing is believing! This vast family residence, beautifully zoned for large-scale entertaining, is set on a landscaped garden block (846 sq.m. approx) close to Sydney Rd shops and cafes, transport and schools. The original house has been skilfully joined to a modern extension, matched in meticulously crafted period style. The result is one of the finest homes in this sought-after precinct. Double verandahs provide two entries. The first, part of the early 20th century house, leads to a wide fretwork-arched hallway from which run three double bedrooms, all with BIRs, the main with a bay window overlooking the manicured front garden. The main entrance opens directly into a magnificent formal living and dining room, with vaulted ceiling and leadlight French doors flowing to a verandah overlooking the back garden. Adjoining the front living area is an equally spacious informal living and dining zone, open to the stunning French Provincial-style kitchen, complete with premium appliances and pull-out pantries. On the northern side of the house are a luxurious 2-zone bathroom, with clawfoot bath and separate shower, and a fitted laundry/utility room. A grand timber staircase leads up from a bar room to a spacious family room/retreat, next to the large fourth bedroom.

The back garden is a sheer delight. Designed around a sparkling solar heated pool and spa, it includes a BBQ area, well-equipped pool house (with kitchen and WC), pretty gazebo and a garage accessed from a right of way. Features of this exceptional property include polished timber floors, ornate Edwardian detail, generous storage, ducted heating and airconditioning to both levels. Nelson Alexander Pty Ltd
