Description

Recall the "Marvellous Melbourne" days from your history classes and imagine the rapid expansion of Melbourne during this boom period. In those optimistic days many solid buildings were constructed. Among these is this little gem. History records indicate that this quaint white double brick, double fronted residence was built in 1888 and first owned by Eli Johnson. Now is your time to connect with this historic home and make it your own. When you visit this property you will be greeted by a freshly painted white facade with old-fashioned window and door metal bars and wooden window shutters. The central hallway features unusual old plaster images on the walls. Either side of the hallway are two front bedrooms. One of these bedrooms has an open fireplace, built-in shelves and a built-in robe. Both bedrooms have polished floorboards. The other bedroom has built-in shelves and a skylight. A special period feature of this room and the other main rooms are stunning stained glass windows. There is a skylight in the open-plan kitchen and dining area. Through stained glass doors is a separate lounge room. An extension leads out a sunroom area alongside a bathroom, laundry and separate toilet. The compact low-maintenance rear yard has a paved area offering space for outdoor entertaining. A side entrance allows easy bicycle access in and out of the property. Situated in a one-way street on the west side of Brunswick Street between Rose and Kerr Streets, this home is moments from a profusion of eclectic shops, trams, and a new Coles supermarket. Around the corner the famous Rose Street Artists' Market is held each Saturday, providing a treasure trove of unique art, fashion and design items for sale.
