From the street frontage, you would never imagine what awaits beyond this character-filled Northcote Point home. Step inside and the sense of space unfolds, but it’s when you reach the rear of the home that you’ll be captivated by the expansive north-facing lawn, a wonderful surprise and something increasingly difficult to find today.

Set on a substantial 989sqm (more or less) freehold site, the sprawling lawn is sunny, private, and surrounded by established greenery. It provides an incredible playground for children and pets, with plenty of space for family gatherings, summer entertaining, landscaping or a future swimming pool.

The home is immediately welcoming, with warm timber floors, timeless features and original character complemented by modern-day conveniences. The open-plan lounge with fireplace, dining and kitchen creates an easy family lifestyle, flowing effortlessly to large decks and the lawn beyond. An outdoor fireplace adds another special dimension, providing a relaxed setting for entertaining and enjoying time together well into the evening.

A flexible layout works beautifully for family life. Upstairs are two bedrooms, including the master featuring a bay window and adjoining office with city views, along with a centrally positioned family bathroom. Downstairs offers even more flexibility, with two further bedrooms, a bathroom and a second, very generous living area, ideal for teenagers, extended family or simply giving everyone their own space. Excellent storage throughout is another real advantage, while the large carport plus two off-street parks add to the practicality of this substantial home.

Owned by the same family for almost 16 years, the home is very comfortable to move into and enjoy now, while offering plenty of scope to update, enhance and add value over time. This is a rare opportunity to secure the kind of long-term family home that is increasingly hard to find, all within a family-friendly community. A short stroll to local cafes, restaurants, parks, beaches, movies, Stafford Wine Bar and easy access to schools, CBD via ferry, car, or public transport. Such a special property with so much to offer, not to be missed.
