157 Arthurton Road, Northcote, Vic 3070

AUCTION THIS THURSDAY| An ideal proposition for a renovator and someone who appreciates the beauty of yesteryear, this impeccably maintained original Northcote home offers a north-facing gabled façade and filtered views to the CBD that can be further capitalised with some aesthetic enhancements. Placed on a flat, deep, 543m2 block access via rear carriageway/lane access for seamless commuting.

A hallway laid with original Baltic pine boards flows into three generously sized bedrooms with external robes. Eye-catching, 4m high approx ceilings are matched by intricate cornicing and picture rails; a spacious Master offers a ceiling rose, and two bedrooms display ornamental fire mantles primed for a revival. An original impeccably tiled bathroom with a separate toilet/basin provides good options for a makeover.

Lounge and dining with lofty ceilings and A/C unit plus split system meet kitchen/meals. Providing a 60’s palette and upright gas cooker with ample space to modernise. The rear gardens are meticulously kept with fruit trees, bright flowers and a garage/shed offering rear lane entry.

Further opportunities exist to construct a modern new home, with a strong commercial interest in converting the spacious floorplan to a medical/health practice (STCA).

Minutes to High Street and Nicholson Street’s buzzing shops, cafes and restaurants and a short stroll to CERES environmental park and the Merri Creek cycling/walking trail and wetlands, adjoining Northcote Public Golf Club and Sumner parkland and playground. Zoned to Northcote High and Brunswick East Primary and close to great private education and universities. Easy access to Northcote train station, trams and freeway access.
