3a/14 Little Miller Street, Brunswick East.

Concrete, timber and a hit of eucalyptus green. This is Brunswick East in fine architectural form. Spread across two levels in Breathe Architecture's Neighbourhood development, this three-bedroom home has the scale of a townhouse, the ease of apartment living and Balfe Park right at the boundary. Better still, sustainability is built into the project itself. Neighbourhood is a fossil-fuel-free community that effortlessly blends industrial heritage with world-class environmental credentials. Four distinct buildings gather around a landscaped communal courtyard designed by Openwork. The ground floor is given over to living, dining and cooking, with pale floorboards warming the raw concrete ceiling overhead and full-height glazing framing the park as a calming backdrop. There is plenty of room to separate sofa and dining zones, while the kitchen brings its own strong visual identity with streamlined cabinetry in muted grey and deep green, stone surfaces, a breakfast bar, dishwasher and provision for a concealed fridge and freezer. Sliding doors open straight to the leafy front porch, and a powder room is tucked neatly away near the stairs. Upstairs, the layout gets even more interesting. The main bedroom has built-in robes, a sleek ensuite and its own north-facing covered balcony looking through the treetops. Across the hall, bedrooms two and three also have robes, but instead of conventional windows, both open directly to a substantial courtyard. It gives the sleeping level two very different places to step outside, one facing north and one set privately at the rear. The central bathroom continues the clean-lined palette with green feature tiling and a shower over the bath. Ducted heating and cooling and ceiling fans add to the everyday practicality, along with a dedicated storeroom, parking space and electric vehicle charger. Residents also have access to a rooftop terrace with panoramic city views to enjoy. Nicholson Street trams are a short walk away and East Brunswick Village is close enough for groceries, coffee or dinner without getting in the car. Lygon Street is nearby when you want more choice, while Merri Creek and the Capital City Trail are there for a walk or ride. It's a quiet pocket, but still right in the thick of it all, with zoning for sought-after Brunswick South Primary School and Northcote High School. - Dual-level three-bedroom home designed by acclaimed Breathe Architecture - Open-plan living and dining with adjoining private porch and park views - Sleek kitchen with island, breakfast bar, dishwasher and storage - Main bedroom with ensuite, robes and north-facing covered balcony - Two rear bedrooms with robes opening to a substantial courtyard - Both bathrooms with green feature tiling, one with shower over bath - Ducted heating and cooling plus ceiling fans - Secure car space with EV charger and dedicated private storeroom - Landscaped communal gardens and rooftop terrace with city views
