9/7 Wardens Walk, Coburg

Once eponymous with prison, Pentridge is fast shedding its dark and derelict skin as it’s thoughtfully reimagined into a vibrant urban village and cultural icon of Melbourne – and this four-storey four-bedroom townhouse, smack bang in Coburg’s most historic and accessible location, is positively brimming with potential.

Whether it’s proximity to cosy cafes, restaurants, picnic spots and playgrounds within its renowned bluestone walls, or the newly opened Pentridge shopping precinct featuring all kinds of shops, grocers and Palace Cinemas, your phenomenal position within the Pentridge estate guarantees your every comfort and convenience is fulfilled.

Thought this heritage location couldn’t get any better? Think again. You’re a stone’s throw from Sydney Road’s spectrum of eclectic shops and fresh Victoria-wide produce at the weekly Coburg Farmers Market, the tranquil grounds and Merri Creek Trail at Coburg Lake Reserve and Coburg Primary School.

And should you need to travel beyond your locale, like to Melbourne’s CBD (just over 8 kilometres away approx.), a full suite of public transport options within walking distance offer a serene commute, while your car/s remain secure in your two-car garage with internal and remote control access via private laneway.

Then there’s the townhouse itself. A four-storey east-facing dwelling serviced by morning sunshine, an elevator and balconies off virtually every room, this residence is all about its diverse spaces.

From the ground floor’s vast quarters with sunny street frontage and the second floor’s entertainment room (opposite the bright open-plan living domain and kitchen with dishwasher and breakfast bar), to the fourth floor’s claim to the home’s largest balcony and city skyline views, each space is ripe with possibilities and ready to be imagined anew – think games room, home gym, theatre room, wine cellar, private library, home office or something else entirely.

Fittingly, three of the bedrooms – two with built-in robes and a master bedroom with ensuite, walk-in robe for two and split-system heating and air conditioning – reside on the third floor, along with a bathroom and laundry room, while the remaining bedroom with ensuite can be found on the fourth and final floor.

Whether you’re a growing family or a discerning investor, much like Pentridge, this townhouse is awaiting someone with creative vision who sees its potential and is looking to capitalise on the continued positive community and capital growth this area is bound to see in the years to come.
