90 Brown Street, Heidelberg, Vic 3084

A masterpiece in period charm and modern practicality, this beautifully preserved 120-year-old (approx.) residence stands proudly as one of Heidelberg’s most character-filled homes—offering rare versatility, timeless design, and outstanding future potential.

From the moment you arrive, the elegance is undeniable. Leadlight windows, block-mounted switches, soaring ceilings with roses and cornices, original timber floors, and three working fireplaces all celebrate the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Behind the classic façade lies a deceptively spacious and flexible interior ideal for growing or multi-generational families.

Two very large ground-floor bedrooms—with potential to easily convert a third space—cater perfectly to children, guests, or home office needs, while the expansive upstairs master suite/parents' retreat provides a peaceful sanctuary with an ensuite and wall-to-wall robes. From this elevated space, enjoy breathtaking sunrise views over Heidelberg’s valley across to Mt Dandenong—an inspiring way to begin each day. This intelligent design offers excellent personal space for teens or extended family, with the layout zoned for privacy and harmony.

Perfect for entertaining, the central granite kitchen (complete with teppanyaki hot plate) overlooks the generous dining and living zone. A sunlit rear family room flows effortlessly to a decked alfresco area and deep, private backyard—ideal for kids, pets, and gatherings.

Set on a generous block with potential subdivision opportunity (STCA), this is more than just a home—it’s a long-term lifestyle investment.

Zoned for several well-regarded schools including Ivanhoe Grammar and Viewbank College, with Heidelberg Primary School and an outstanding selection of Catholic schools—Our Lady of Mercy College (OLMC), St John’s Primary, and Our Lady’s Primary— all within walking distance, this property offers rare appeal for families seeking quality education within arm’s reach.

Positioned within easy walking distance of the Yarra River, parklands, Burgundy Street’s café culture, Heidelberg Station, and Austin Hospital, this is a location as rewarding as the home itself.
