A residence of extraordinary architectural distinction, this magnificent double-fronted Victorian has undergone a remarkable transformation by the award-winning firm, Architecton, establishing an exceptional standard of contemporary family living and grand entertaining in one of Middle Park's most prized addresses. The grandeur of its origins has been preserved within an ambitious architectural response, complemented by superb poolside entertainment and secure parking for up to five vehicles, including a rare sub-floor basement garage with a second frontage to Canterbury Place.
A broad central hallway introduces interiors of impressive proportion before extending into spectacular living and dining domains beneath expansive skylights, allowing natural light to complement heated concrete floors and beautifully resolved finishes. The enormous marble-island kitchen is appointed with twin Gaggenau ovens, induction cooking, and Vintec wine refrigeration, supported by an entertainer's scullery lined with oak-veneer cabinetry, a second dishwasher, and Zip HydroTap. Full-height glazing extends the entire living area to a generous alfresco terrace with a built-in BBQ, heated swimming pool and infinity-edge spa, while the lower level adds another dimension with a temperature-controlled display wine cellar, fully equipped cinema, glass-walled gym, bathroom, and a substantial laundry/mudroom. A turntable serves the one-of-a-kind triple-basement garage, with two additional vehicles secured by an engineered motorised lift.
The luxurious ground-floor main bedroom makes a suitably indulgent statement, set beneath ornate ceilings with extensive built-in robes leading to a sunken dressing room and a luxe spa-like ensuite. A fitted home office on the same level offers the versatility of guest accommodation when required, while upstairs, two king-sized bedrooms are joined by a central bathroom and a private rear lounge opening to a Juliette balcony.
Comprehensively appointed with Savant home automation, hydronic heating, zoned reverse-cycle heating/cooling, double glazing, integrated audio, designer powder room, intercom security, a wealth of integrated storage, and an outdoor shower, this awe-inspiring family home offers a peerless bayside lifestyle, mere moments from Armstrong Street Village, Albert Park Lake, MSAC, the beach and light rail, with zoning for Albert Park College and convenient access to Melbourne's leading independent schools.
