17 Fleming Street, Brunswick West

A Rare Brunswick West Opportunity with Timeless Character & Period Charm

Some homes simply offer more, more space, more character, more flexibility, and, most importantly, a location that places an enviable inner-north lifestyle right at your doorstep.

Set on a substantial 461m² (approx.) allotment, 17 Fleming Street, Brunswick West presents a rare opportunity to secure a charming, double-fronted period residence in one of Melbourne’s tightly held inner-northern suburbs.

Rich in character and offering a versatile, family-friendly floorplan, the home features three to four bedrooms, the potential for two separate living areas, and a spacious kitchen and dining zone filled with natural light. There is also the added flexibility of a home office or retreat, providing valuable space for families, working from home or simply enjoying a quiet escape.

The generous main bedroom is thoughtfully appointed with its own ensuite and oversized walk-in robe, while the additional bedrooms are complemented by the home's versatile living areas, creating the flexibility for everyone to enjoy their own space without compromising the sense of connection throughout the home.

Character-Filled Living

The main lounge room is rich in period character and warmth, creating an inviting space to relax and unwind. A striking gilt-edged mirror above the mantelpiece forms an elegant focal point, complemented by a fan-forced gas log fire and generous built-in shelving and cupboards, combining timeless charm with practical storage.

A second living room provides another inviting retreat and further enhances the home's flexibility. Featuring its own gas log fire and mantelpiece, along with built-in cupboards and bookshelves, it offers an ideal space for family relaxation, reading, entertaining or simply enjoying some quiet time.

Light-Filled Kitchen & Dining

At the heart of the residence, the spacious kitchen and dining area provide a natural gathering place for family and friends. Bathed in natural light and offering generous proportions, it is equally suited to relaxed family breakfasts, everyday living or entertaining on a larger scale.

The well-appointed kitchen combines functionality with generous workspace and features a Blanco five-hob gas cooktop, Blanco electric wall oven and Panasonic microwave/steam oven, providing an excellent foundation for everyday cooking and entertaining.

Comfort, Security & Smart Living

Designed for year-round comfort, the home features Brivis central heating, with manual and remote phone activation on the ground floor, together with reverse-cycle air conditioning in the lounge, two bedrooms and dining room.

Security and smart-home functionality have also been thoughtfully considered. An Ajax security alarm and smart system, incorporating fire alarm and automation, provides added peace of mind and convenience, while EZVIZ motion cameras covering the front and rear of the property enhance security. A front-door camera doorbell provides an additional layer of security and everyday convenience.

Outdoor Entertaining, Parking & Storage

Outside, the well-proportioned backyard offers an increasingly rare sense of space in this sought-after location. Whether it is entertaining throughout the year, giving children room to play, providing space for family pets or simply enjoying the outdoors, the generous rear yard offers flexibility for the whole family.

The rear verandah further extends the home's entertaining options and is equipped for relaxed outdoor living, featuring retractable sun blinds and outdoor floodlighting. A mobile six-burner BBQ with two doors and weather cover adds further convenience for entertaining family and friends throughout the year.

Adding further practicality is the generous amount of dedicated storage available, including a substantial under-roof storage room, providing valuable additional space for household items, equipment, seasonal belongings and everything that comes with family living.

The property also offers off-street parking for two vehicles, including a garage and a concrete-paved car pad at the rear.
