1/220 Darebin Road, Northcote

From the moment you walk in, this home delivers. Beautiful polished timber floors, soaring open space and an enormous living and dining zone create a genuine sense of scale, while a wall of bi-fold doors opens completely to the private rear deck, bringing the indoors and outdoors together brilliantly. The kitchen is equally impressive. Crisp white cabinetry, stone benchtops, stainless-steel appliances, gas cooking, extensive storage and a substantial island bench sit at the centre of the home, overlooking a living space large enough for proper lounge and dining zones without compromise. And then there is the deck. Private, established and surrounded by greenery, it feels like another living room outdoors – with direct access from the main living area making it an exceptional space for entertaining. The floorplan is just as good. Three bedrooms are spread across two levels, including a generous upstairs main bedroom with walk-in robe, a second bedroom with built-in robes and a separate study area. The third bedroom is privately positioned downstairs alongside the second bathroom, making it ideal for guests, older children or those wanting separation when working from home. The main bathroom includes a full-size bath and separate shower, while a dedicated laundry, excellent storage and internal access from the remote garage add the practical things that make a home genuinely easy to live in. Ducted heating and evaporative cooling, an alarm system and video intercom complete a home that is stylish, incredibly functional and beautifully presented. Best of all, there is no poky townhouse living here. The scale of the main living area, the warmth of the timber floors and that seamless connection to the deck are what make this one special. Positioned in Northcote, with the suburb's renowned High Street dining, shopping and public transport network within easy reach.
