11 Caton Avenue, Coburg

This dual-level home is immaculate from front to back, showcasing a generous floorplan that gives a growing or multi-generational family the freedom to live, relax and entertain with ease. Beautifully maintained in its retro style and ready to enjoy, it's a comfortable residence where you can spread out today while still having scope to update in the future. The entry opens to a lounge on one side, a quiet retreat filled with natural light. The timber kitchen with wall oven, gas cooktop, and drop-down breakfast bench looks across the dining and family room. It's a practical design that makes everyday life run smoothly. At the rear, a surprise bonus awaits in the form of a large entertaining room or optional bedroom with kitchenette, plus adjoining laundry, toilet and hallway storage. Versatile in every sense, it suits parties, kids' sleepovers, weekend gatherings or extended family accommodation. The main bedroom with ensuite and robes is privately placed, while two further bedrooms with built-in cupboards are arranged around a spotless family bathroom. Upstairs brings further flexibility with a rumpus room, a fourth bedroom and an attic that takes care of storage. Outside, the pergola-covered courtyard with barbecue provides a sheltered setting for year-round use. A huge four-car garage with work bench and room for projects or storage, a split-system air conditioner, ducted heating, evaporative cooling and a security alarm complete the picture. The location is another highlight, zoned for Merri-bek Primary and Coburg High, with respected private schools close by. Transport is excellent, with the #1 tram along Nicholson Street just behind the block, plus Coburg Station and Harding Street buses close at hand. Shopping in central Coburg, including Foleys Mall, is within easy reach, as are local reserves such as Egan, A H Capp and W H Robinson, and the Merri Creek Trail. Melbourne Polytechnic and RMIT Brunswick are also nearby. A home that works for family life now and will continue to do so for years ahead.
