A perfectly balanced façade and original leadlight windows draw you across the wide front porch and into this beautiful California bungalow in the heart of Coburg, presenting an unrivalled opportunity for the fortunate buyer to restore her to her former glory, or leverage the brilliant block size of 734m2 (approx) and the fact that the hard work has already been done with endorsed plans ready to go for 4 residences. Featuring high ceilings throughout, the home offers good-size two bedrooms, a front lounge adjoining the dining area, overlooked by a practical modern kitchen. A central bathroom adds a second WC with separate powder room off the full-size laundry. At the rear of the home, a simple granny flat offers a practical space for teens or extended family, or perhaps a home office or studio. There's a single garage at the end of a long side driveway, a sizable garden shed, a framed garden enclosure ready for the green-thumb, and there's even laneway access at the rear. Livable or lettable right away, you can move in while plans are finalised, or get straight to work with the redevelopment of this vibrant location, just a stone's throw from the hustle and bustle of both Bell Street and Sydney Road, the home is also close to McDonald Reserve, various transport options, cafes, Coburg Leisure Centre, schools, Coburg Market, and within a short drive of Pentridge cinemas, shops and eateries.
