9 Maxwell Street, Northcote, Vic 3070

In a sublime Northcote neighbourhood backing onto Rubie Thomson Reserve, this gorgeous Art Deco home is absolutely perfect for growing families thanks to its expanded single-level floorplan, impressive inclusions and lush landscaped surrounds to enjoy.

Guaranteed to captivate, the home's welcoming interior comprises an entrance hallway accessing three large bedrooms complemented by a stylish master ensuite and main family bathroom complete with freestanding tub. Spacious, versatile and bathed in natural light, the open-plan living/dining area is further enhanced by a stone-bench kitchen with island breakfast bar, soft-close drawers, ample cupboard space and AEG appliances (dishwasher, oven, gas cooktop and rangehood). Other stand-outs include ducted heating and evaporative cooling, solar power, alarm system, CCTV, high ceilings, hardwood floors and stylish plantation shutters, as well as concealed cisterns, rain-head showers and floor-to-ceiling tiles in both bathrooms. Stacker doors reveal an expansive alfresco entertaining deck looking out to the delightful north-facing backyard garden with additional sandstone and brick-paved entertaining areas, high fences for exceptional privacy and direct access to the park, plus a handy workshop/storeroom and remote-control garage via the gated side driveway.

Bus stop around the corner, it's also close to Station Street shops, cafes and restaurants, along with Northcote's new aquatic centre (under construction), Fairfield Primary School and Fairfield Station.
