1 Fowler Street, Coburg, Vic 3058

Occupying a large corner parcel in a tightly held cul-de-sac, this freestanding Edwardian offers classical charm, modern comfort, and scope to further enliven. Beyond a façade brimming with character, a sun-splashed interior pays homage to century-old roots with its ornate fretwork, sash windows, and towering ceilings. With rays streaming through northern windows, two substantial bedrooms are joined by a smart bathroom with a bathtub, while an open kitchen with gas cooking serves broad living and dining areas. Side lane frontage broadens design possibilities, streamlines construction access, and enables secure carport parking at the rear of the oversized block, while other features include reverse-cycle heating/cooling, Baltic pine floors, a full-size laundry, and back bungalow plus workshop doubling as a potential home office or guest’s retreat. In a pocket loved for its period architecture, family atmosphere, and proximity to the best of the inner north, it’s only steps to Merri-Bek and St Bernard’s Primary Schools, Coles and Woolworths supermarkets, city-bound trains and trams, Bridges Reserve, Merri Creek, and Sydney Road’s thriving retail, culinary, and after-hours scenes.
