An Authentic Early Coburg Residence Ready for Its Next Chapter

Raphael Houston proudly presents ...

More than a century after it was built in 1911, this early weatherboard residence continues to tell the story of Coburg's formative years. Original architectural details remain remarkably intact, offering an increasingly rare opportunity to restore, renovate or reimagine a significant period home on a substantial allotment.

A traditional central hall organises the home, linking two generous bedrooms, formal living and dining rooms before arriving at the kitchen and adjoining sunroom. Original baltic pine timber floors, stained leadlight glass, plaster strapped ceilings, red cedar timber joinery and the gabled verandah remain defining features throughout, preserving the character of the home.

Beyond the interiors, a substantial backyard creates exceptional flexibility. An existing workshop and garage, generous open lawn and wide side access offer immediate practicality while also revealing the scale available for an extension or future
redevelopment (STCA).

Its elite location within the Coburg North Primary School and Coburg High School zones further enhances its appeal, while being just steps from local schools and shopping precincts. The home also enjoys close proximity to Merri Creek, Coburg Lake, the leisure centre and sports fields. Offering exceptional local connectivity, the property is mere moments from two tram lines, Coburg Station, Sydney Road and the
M2.
