Overview

An inspired entertainer in a dress-circle setting

Claiming a dress-circle position within a tightly held Emerald Hill cul-de-sac, this impressive, architect-designed residence captures a prized north-facing aspect on the edge of Clarendon Street and Albert Park Village, placing lifestyle and city connection at the doorstep. Dual-level interiors respond to the sunny orientation, luring in natural light and accentuating the incredible proportions on the ground floor, with a formal living and dining room offering a direct park outlook. An oversized sliding door separates the zones, transitioning to the open-plan living, dining and entertainment areas beyond, where walls of glass extend the space outward to a private, low-maintenance garden. This connection encourages year-round entertaining, supported by a gourmet kitchen appointed with stone benchtops, a bespoke island and a suite of European appliances including Bosch and Westinghouse. Above, high sky-lit ceilings amplify natural light across the upper level, while timber floors and clean architectural lines maintain a cohesive feel throughout. The north-facing main bedroom takes full advantage of its position, elevated by soaring vaulted ceilings, and fitted with custom walk-in robes and a lavish ensuite featuring a freestanding bath and dual vanities. Two additional bedrooms with built-in robes share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, while a study nook adds further flexibility. Completed with a powder room, full laundry, rear ROW pedestrian access, a water tank, double glazing, and split system heating and cooling, it sits moments from Albert Park Lake, MSAC, South Melbourne Market, transport links, and a choice of leading schools.
