8 Chapman Street, North Melbourne.

Step inside this late-Victorian terrace and you'll feel the spirit of its era from the first moment. The high-arched entry, floorboards and tall ceilings carry a quiet kind of grandeur, balanced by an inviting warmth that makes you feel at home from day one. Both bedrooms speak of character, each anchored by its own fireplace, with period details adding personality. Further in, the living, dining and kitchen unfold towards the rear, where timber-framed glass doors open to a north-facing alfresco setting wrapped in brick paving and greenery. It's a lovely spot to catch up with friends, potter with plants or sit with the morning paper. A side courtyard adds even more light, while the bathroom and laundry sit neatly nearby. Errol Street's cafés, shops and village vibe are down the road, with Woolworths and Arden Gardens Shopping Centre close by. Schools including North Melbourne Primary, University High and St Aloysius College are all nearby. Transport couldn't be easier with the 57, 58 and 59 trams, North Melbourne Station and soon-to-open Arden Station all close at hand, along with Citylink for quick trips further afield. A home with depth, comfort and a location you'll never tire of.
