"ANTRIM" - set on a wide allotment opposite the open spaces of Coburg Lake Reserve, this landmark Victorian home (c1882) presents a truly outstanding inner-urban family lifestyle opportunity with its dream dimensions, quality appointments and brilliant poolside entertaining area to enjoy.

Rich in history thanks to its strong connection to the former Pentridge Prison, the home is now a family oasis of quality and versatility comprising a wonderfully wide central hallway and four large bedrooms all serviced by a period-inspired bathroom with clawfoot tub. Enhancing its appeal is the inclusion of a separate study, elegant lounge, formal dining room and open living/meals area adjoined by an updated kitchen complete with Smeg/Blanco cooking appliances. Other fine features of this remarkable residence include ducted heating and evaporative cooling, working fireplaces and additional wood heater (living area), as well as towering ceilings with ornate plasterwork and original Baltic Pine floorboards. Bi-folds reveal a wonderfully private backyard sanctuary including solar-heated pool with retractable awnings, poolside powder room, fabulous all-seasons alfresco entertaining area and custom-built wet bar that's second-to-none, plus a lock-up garage and extra-wide driveway for multiple off-street parking.

Pentridge Shopping Centre and Palace Cinema around the corner, it's also walking distance to Sydney Road trams and Batman Station, close to local schools and kinder/childcare facilities, Merri Creek trails and Coburg's renowned retail precinct. Land approx 823sqm.
