Overview

Alfresco Victorian in a Coveted Locale

Tucked away in the thriving heart of South Yarra, this attractively presented and free-standing Victorian residence has been dramatically transformed by a well-considered renovation and extension, retaining its original circa-1890s soul while introducing a contemporary lifestyle filled with north-facing, year-round, alfresco living and entertaining. Just metres from both Prahran Market and Chapel Street, the home offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and intelligently crafted living spaces to embrace family life and effortless hospitality. A centrally situated and subway-tiled kitchen is the home's heart with a clever semi-attached study nook and seamless connection to a deck that draws plenty of afternoon sun. Stepping down to a generous dining and living domain, the open-plan caters to all the Melbourne seasons with a roaring fireplace to warm the winter months and a pair of double doors that open to a private, paved and partially undercover rear courtyard that feels like a north-facing oasis for lovers of an alfresco life. The primary bedroom evokes a genuine sense of sanctuary, cast to the rear of the home and set upstairs among the treetops, all under a vaulted ceiling with walk-in robes and its own ensuite, whilst the remaining bedrooms have been completed with either built-in robes or another fireplace. Further highlights include driveway parking for three vehicles and a pristine central bathroom with a double basin vanity, as well as an oversized concealed laundry, central heating and air conditioning. This is a truly walk-everywhere location within easy reach of so many celebrated cafes, restaurants, bars and night-life opportunities, not only on Chapel Street, but also on Commercial Road and Toorak Road, while the manicured beauty of Argo Gardens are just around the corner to offer some welcome tranquillity, plus you can walk to multiple tram routes, buses and city-bound trains from Prahran or South Yarra Railway Stations.
