This is an exceptionally rare Brunswick East property, combining a substantial 1920s Californian Bungalow with approximately 939m² of land in a tightly held inner-north location. The home retains impressive original period features, providing an outstanding foundation for a significant restoration and extension. The enormous rear garden, multiple garages and proximity to Lygon Street, Merri Creek, CERES and transport further strengthen its long-term family appeal.
The major compromise is the direct Blyth Street position, a busy east-west thoroughfare carrying considerably more traffic and road noise than the quieter residential streets surrounding it. Buyers will also need to factor in the substantial renovation required and carefully investigate the heritage controls before considering future alterations. At this price level, comparable sales around Brunswick East and neighbouring Northcote include significantly more renovated homes, highlighting that much of the property's value is being attributed to its exceptional 939m² land holding, period character and scarcity rather than its current level of accommodation. Only 3 beds and 1 bath will not be appealing to $3,000,000 plus buyers. 117 Union St sold $3,388,000 and 4 Bell st for $3,600,000 on smaller land but fully renovated and both with 4 bed 2 baths on offer.
