Executive summary:

This absolutely charming 1868 solid brick build sits in a quiet court in popular and tightly-held Quarry Hill, ensuring it is walking distance from the city centre and the train station, as well as bus stops, primary and secondary schools and La Trobe University. Offering modern conveniences alongside heritage appeal, this attractive home provides a layout that could easily serve a busy family; a work-from-home professional; or a downsizer wanting the city at their fingertips. With excellent curb appeal, the home sits behind a beautifully kept cottage garden.

The main entry opens into a central hallway with three of the four bedrooms leading off this original space. Each room is generously proportioned with a cast-iron fireplace – the front room featuring a marble mantle – and therefore any could also easily serve as an additional living space or home library. A formal dining room, or second lounge, opens to both the main living area and also leads to a spacious master bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robe. The master also offers a separate entry, providing fantastic options for the owner. At the rear of the home is an open plan kitchen, living and dining room and the character kitchen enjoys an exposed brick wall and Belling stove. Off the kitchen is the family bathroom and laundry. Outdoors, a private brick-paved courtyard and patio is perfect for entertaining. The separate brick outbuilding could function as a studio or home office.
