A single-front home with a “garden” room has hit the market in the heart of Coburg.
The three-bedroom abode at 23 Molesworth St has a modern extension out the back, offering a family or garden room that leads to a private entertainer’s courtyard surrounded by olive trees.
The vendors hope to fetch $1.2m-$1.3.

Key factor in getting top price for your home
Jellis Craig Brunswick director Elizabeth Kelly, who’s managing the listing, said the space at the rear of the home was “ultra modern (and) very funky”.
“It just floods natural light in the day,” Ms Kelly said.
“No matter what time of day, it’s just a beautiful room even at night and opens up into the nice outdoor entertaining.”
She added that the extension, designed by architect Tim Angus, was a “nice surprise” at the end of the home.
Another drawcard of the home was the deep, side driveway, which Ms Kelly said was “unheard of” for the area and for that type of home.
”You have multiple living spaces, you can kind of set the house up as you wish,” she said.
“It’s much bigger than most. It’s got a lot going for it.”
A large veranda sweeps around the home’s facade upon entry.
Hardwood and polished concrete floors consistent throughout as well as high decorative ceilings and leadlight.
The kitchen and meals area is equipped with Lofra cooking appliances and a breakfast bar.
There are two sizeable bedrooms and another potential bedroom or space which could be transformed into a study as it has an in-built desk.
Zoned to Coburg High, the home is in walking distance to the Merri Creek trails, Coburg North Village, CBD Trams and the popular O’Heas Bakery.
The campaign so far had garnered interest from mainly young professionals based in Brunswick, Fitzroy and Clifton Hill, with around 30 groups inspecting the property so far.
Its auction will be on Saturday, 19 August at 9:30am.
