Overview

Set in one of Reservoir’s most prestigious neighborhoods, this exceptional period home at 1 Northernhay Street seamlessly blends classic architectural charm with spacious and contemporary living. The property is beautifully framed by a landscaped front garden, welcoming visitors with a wide entrance, lofty ceilings, and engineered timber flooring that enhances the abundant natural light throughout.

The design facilitates family connection with an expansive open-plan kitchen adjoining the meals and family/living areas, perfectly suited for everyday comfort and entertaining guests. The ground floor accommodates three sizable bedrooms, two featuring built-in robes, and one with a walk-in robe. A large study offers versatile space, complemented by an updated main bathroom with a bath, a second full bathroom, and a well-equipped laundry.

Ascending the timber staircase reveals a private upper-level retreat comprising a spacious lounge and an oversized bedroom complete with a walk-in robe and ensuite bathroom, ideal as a master sanctuary or a luxurious guest suite.

Outside, the sunlit backyard presents a delightful setting for year-round outdoor living, including an undercover alfresco area, a cozy fire pit spot for cool evenings, and a quaint rockery pathway along the side garden. The generously sized powered garage, finished with rustic details, has been transformed into a multi-functional space with a wood fire box—an inspiring music room or an intimate sitting area evocative of a serene hillside retreat.

The property offers extensive off-street parking with a long driveway and an extended carport accommodating several vehicles with ease. Modern comforts include ducted heating, evaporative cooling, and ceiling fans, ensuring year-round climate control and comfort.

Lifestyle advantages of the location include proximity to Preston Market and High Street shopping precincts, a variety of multicultural dining options, and close access to Thornbury’s popular cafes. Fitness enthusiasts benefit from nearby gyms, sporting clubs, and studios, while excellent public transport options include Regent and Reservoir train stations and multiple bus routes.

Families will appreciate access to sought-after schools such as Preston Primary, St Gabriel’s, Holy Name, and Preston High School. The property also offers a convenient commute to the Melbourne CBD.
