Top Coburg North Home Hits the Market

The facade of 8 Bakers Road in Coburg North hides one of the area’s most generous homes for sale. According to the vendor, the property was discovered by chance 18 years ago, and it immediately struck a chord. The vendor recalls the feeling of discovering a hidden sanctuary, with lush gardens, birdsong, and light filtering through the trees giving it a magical, retreat-like quality.

The home was architecturally designed and built in 1987, with a vision of blending strong, enduring design with the natural beauty of its site situated just before Merri Creek. The property sits on over 1800 square metres of land, offering a rare opportunity for a feeling of complete escape, yet right in the middle of suburbia.

The vendor has completed renovations over the years to modernise the kitchen and bathrooms, and invite more warmth into the home via blackbutt timber floors. Landscaping the backyard was a major project, introducing a pool surrounded by mature native plantings, automated systems, a 30,000-litre rainwater tank, bluestone boulders, and a layered lighting design.

The backyard meets established trees, flowing seamlessly into crown land along the banks of the Merri Creek. Floor-to-ceiling windows to the east bring this setting into the home’s sprawling floor plan. In addition to three bedrooms, one study, and three bathrooms in the main house, the property hosts a self-contained unit complete with a theatre and cellar area, ideal for entertaining overnight guests.

Additional property features include a sauna, EV charger, solar system, and a billiards room on the lower ground level. The vendors hope the new owners will appreciate and enjoy the house that has been the backbone of their family for almost two decades.

The vendor says, ‘This isn’t just a home, it’s a feeling. It’s where design meets soul, and every space invites you to slow down, breathe deeper, and just be.’ Over the years, friends, family, and overseas guests have all said the same thing: waking up here feels like waking up in a secluded resort…It’s a rare kind of magic, and they have no doubt the next owners will feel it too, every single day.

Considering the property’s unique features and location, they will be looking to make the most of the home’s potential for entertainment and relaxation. With its self-contained unit and outdoor spaces, the property offers a range of possibilities for hosting guests.
