Overview

Dual-Access Victorian in Port Melbourne's Cultural Heart

Comfortable, and brilliantly practical, this fully reimagined Victorian pairs heritage and elegance with style and simplicity, perfect for professionals and downsizers chasing the seaside verve Port Melbourne is famous for. Enjoying rear frontage to Cruikshank Street, remote-gate parking, and scope to easily reconfigure to house several cars off-street, the abode stands as a true rarity among terraces, hidden behind a high fence and façade full of charisma. Architraves, period skirting boards, and a hallway arch headline the details keeping character alive, with two oversized, storage-rich bedrooms introduced en route to a bright & open living area Living and dining spaces are well-served by a kitchen with a gas-top Belling cooker, stainless-steel dishwasher, and ample cabinet space, stepping out to a backyard brilliant for an evening drink or Sunday barbecue. With nothing to be done other than move in, establish roots, and indulge in the local lifestyle, further highlights include new, plush carpets, upgraded power, insulation, Baltic pine floors, split-system heating/cooling, electric wall heaters, fans and a smart bathroom with laundry facilities, along with side-lane frontage for broader design possibilities in any future extension. Placement proves exceptional, proximity to the foreshore, scattered parks, and a true Melbourne icon in Bay Street. Right between the 1 Tram and Light Rail while seconds to the 236 Bus, South Melbourne Market and the CBD are never more than moments away, as are acclaimed Albert Park College (zoned), the Gasworks Arts Precinct, MSAC, and trail, ovals, and Grand Prix circuit skirting Albert Park Lake.
