148 Napier Street, Collingwood

Right in the heart of downtown Collingwood and surrounded by some of the town's most recognisable landmark buildings, this extensively renovated and thoughtfully enlarged Regency bungalow is a wonderful blend of history, character and modern-day convenience. Lovingly cared for and beautifully maintained, the home offers three bedrooms and four bathrooms, including a spacious and bright primary suite with a fabulous five-piece ensuite. Original ornate mouldings and hardwood floors add a wonderful sense of history, while the renovations provide the space and functionality today's homeowner expects. Outside, the private gardens are a peaceful setting, with immaculate perennial beds, inviting seating areas and decking providing plenty of places to relax and enjoy the surroundings. And then there's the laneway...a rare Collingwood feature, it provides rear access to the existing carport and shed, with exciting potential for a larger garage, living suite or other future development, subject of course to approvals. Adding even more versatility is the low-ceilinged basement, an uncommon feature for a home of this vintage and ideal for a workshop, storage or the projects that somehow always find their way onto the list.
