Located in the Merlynston building fronting Walker Street and bathed in northern light this spacious two bedroom home in a townhouse format, with bedrooms separated from the living, these are ideal homes for families. The level one master bedroom takes in the tree top across to Walker Street and features a large walk-in-robe.

On the banks of Merri Creek, these homes are bordered by Australian bushland to the south, low-rise cottages to the north and are a short stroll away from the bustling locale of Westgarth. Merri Northcote has been conceptualised to complement the natural beauty of the creek and reflect the values of the surrounding community.

This home has direct access from Walker Street with secure, private courtyards shaded by canopy trees.

Also included is a dedicated resident rooftop garden, with comfortable spaces fitted with shade structures and a garden experience interspersed with pockets of seating and outdoor dining.

Only 250 metres up High Street are the Westgarth shops, the historic birthplace of Northcote and home to many iconic and timeless venues including the Westgarth Cinemas, organic groceries, award-winning restaurants, live music, a yoga studio, microbrewery and more.

This home features Merri’s signature 'Lifecycle' scheme with a selection of locally sourced materials, along with reused and recyclable materials where possible. Sourced from demolished buildings throughout Victoria, recycled messmate timber flooring runs throughout the homes. Processing this characterful native timber into an engineered floorboard delivers both a hard wearing and stable product. Stainless steel benchtops feature in the kitchen and are made of approximately 60% recycled content including 25% reclaimed scrap, 35% industrial scrap and 40% new raw materials. Solid recycled timber benchtops are chosen to complement these, made from recycled messmate, also reclaimed from demolished buildings in Victoria. In the bathrooms, feature tiles are made from bluestone reclaimed from the site during excavation, while the tiled floors and walls come with an end of life agreement for re-use. Brass detailing also provides recyclable opportunities and environmental advantages over using chrome.

All the homes at Merri are designed responsibly and with the future in mind. MAB is committed to delivering each home to a 5 Star Green Star standard, a certification that will be provided by Australia’s leading Green Star authority, the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA), on completion.

Developed by MAB in collaboration with Six Degrees Architects and TCL landscape architecture, Merri is designed to complement the natural wonder of Merri Creek.
