82 Union Street

Occupying a deep north-facing block in a blue-ribbon Brunswick locale, strolling distance to Royal Park and vibrant Sydney Road, this charming late-Victorian terrace presents a classic inner-city lifestyle with future scope to renovate or even extend up. Owned by the same family for 20 years and immediately liveable, it welcomes with comfortable light-filled interiors, abundant heritage character and ROW access. Nestled beside an iconic former corner store, the tessellated verandah reveals soaring pressed metal ceilings and polished Baltic pine floors that extend into two king-size bedrooms off the arched hallway. At the home's heart is a large lounge with a gorgeous ornate mantel, which flows via an etched glass door into the spacious living/dining area. The functional floorplan includes a bright timber-topped kitchen with gas cooking, and a modern bathroom at the back. Framed by landscaped gardens in private sun-dappled surrounds, the fantastic courtyard lends itself to outdoor entertaining or quiet relaxation and enjoys rear pedestrian access from a bluestone laneway. Additionally, it has a separate laundry, an extra w/c, cooling and panel heating. Just 5kms from the CBD, this appealing home is placed in a community-minded neighbourhood, easy walking distance to Barkly Square, Brunswick's popular cafes and restaurants, city-bound trams and Jewell station, as well as Melbourne University, RMIT University (Brunswick), Princes Park and Brunswick Baths, and close to CityLink.
