13 Darlington Grove, Coburg, Vic 3058

Talk about potential. This classic mid-century home occupies a wonderfully deep block with direct access to Hardwick Street behind providing a raft of exciting options to renovate, renew, sub-divide or completely redevelop (STCA).

Very original, the home's well-presented interior comprises three bedrooms (all with built-in robes), as well as a neat central bathroom and separate WC via the laundry. Adding to its immediate appeal is a sizeable front lounge and open living/meals area to the rear adjoined by a functional kitchen with stainless-steel cooker. Other highlights include a gas heater, two split-system air conditioners and solid hardwood floors, plus a huge backyard complete with four-car garage (via Hardwick Street).

A short stroll to Nicholson Street trams, Merri Creek trails and acres of parkland, it's also close to Sydney Road cafes and a range of schools, as well as easy access to Coburg Station and the area's thriving retail precinct.
