439 Clarke Street, Northcote VIC 3070

This property represents seriously smart buying. On a great 515sqm (approx.) block, the potential is palpable.

Add to that a charming family home that has been lovingly cared for, and a great position in a tree-lined street within easy reach of transport, shopping, and schools, and you've got an unbeatable opportunity.

The wonderfully maintained home is honest and warm. With unique aggregate look floors with feature marble inlays and tall ceilings throughout, it has the attributes of a great family home.

The formal lounge is generous in size, has a wonderful aspect over the verandah to the north facing back garden, and boasts gas heating, split system, reverse cycle air conditioning and a brick feature wall.

It links beautifully to the large, sunny kitchen and out to the wonderful laundry complete with original twin stone sink and washboard.

The family bedrooms are generous and well positioned. There's also an efficient family bathroom with a full-size bath and separate shower.

There's a pretty front garden with off-street parking and carport, and a truly epic back yard with established fig trees and raised vegetable gardens, it's a green thumb's paradise! There's also a large garage that would easily double as an art studio or with a bit of work, a home office or teenage retreat (STCA).

The suburb needs no introduction, however the proximity to local schools, fabulous shopping and the fact it is a mere stroll around the corner to the train station definitely need to be called out.

The big block lends itself to a multitude of uses, while the family home is comfortable and inviting. Move straight in and enjoy the delights of the area, start planning the renovation or even consider starting from scratch (STCA) it's your choice.

This truly is a fantastic property presenting an enviable opportunity thanks to its ability to transform in to almost anything you can imagine.
