Overview

Timeless terrace with a prestige address

Standing with conviction as one of the exclusive street's original Victorians, this timeless terrace strikes the perfect balance between classical and modern, harnessing every ounce of charm and character in design that meets today's brief. Manicured pencil pines, an iron fence and lacework, and covered porch make memorable first impressions, harnessed and built upon by interiors that excel on every front. Soft sheers, solid timber floors, towering ceilings, and an array of old-world features show the sheer craft and quality, with a skylit lounge, two substantial bedrooms, and extensive storage introduced before a back section bringing entertaining to the fore. An open dining space and well-equipped kitchen precede an entertainer's backyard doubling as secure off-street parking, while other highlights include a smart bathroom with a clawfoot bath and laundry, backyard toilet and storage, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, ceiling fans, and a wood heater for cosy winter nights. A rear laneway streamlines access and offers scope for a future up/backward extension (STCA), while from its prestige position on Flemington's border, the home embraces the best of both storied suburbs. Newmarket, Union Road, and Mt Alexander Road shopping, dining, and lifestyle hubs, the local farmers market, trains and trams, Ascot Vale Primary (zoned), Flemington Racecourse, and Melbourne Showgrounds all sit within a short stroll, with CityLink nearby for easy cross-town commutes.
