8 Barrow St, Coburg VIC 3058

One for the renovators, the creatives and the visionaries, the ones who look at this three-bedroom Victorian-era home on a corner allotment in Coburg’s backstreets – literally moments from Sydney Road’s best yet still in a quiet enough position to soak up the tranquility of suburban living – and see its endless potential to be refreshed and recreated or redeveloped anew (STCA)

Outside you’re greeted with a charming weatherboard facade framed by trees and a cosy porch at the front; inside, you’re met with beautifully high ceilings adorned with ceiling roses, picture railings along the walls, carpeted floors and hallway arches. It’s weathered, sure. But it’s delightfully easy to see it’s also a stunning framework awaiting rejuvenation.

Past the bedrooms and lounge/dining you’ll find the kitchen with oven furnace, a stunning decorative piece and homage to the home’s previous incarnation, as well as a storage pantry and bathroom with shower and bathtub. Beyond, a door to the backyard will lead you to the laundry, storage room and powder room, all of which are dotted across a large grassy garden leading to the double car garage from Blair Street. There is also a ROW at the rear of the property.
