Overview

Double-fronted Victoria, North-facing garden bliss

Enjoying the serenity of this north-facing garden setting, this recently renovated, freestanding solid-brick Victorian on 265sqm (approx.) presents an exceptional family sanctuary on a peaceful one-way street, mere steps from Fawkner Park. Beautifully retained period character gives way to sophisticated contemporary interiors across two levels, culminating in a balcony with captivating city skyline views, all within one of South Yarra's most coveted lifestyle pockets. Original bluestone paving in the forecourt leads to interiors defined by solid-brick walls, original arches, and a corbelled central hallway, extending to the rear living room with a wood-burning fireplace and custom cabinetry. Conservatory glazing brings abundant natural light into the adjoining dining area and well-appointed kitchen, overlooking a deep north-facing garden with established greenery and lush lawns, entirely private and ideal for al-fresco dining and entertaining. Three bedrooms with built-in robes occupy the ground floor, two retaining their original fireplaces, alongside a sleek, renovated bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate WC. Dedicated entirely to the main bedroom suite, the upper level comprises generous fitted storage, a dual-vanity en-suite, and a private north-facing balcony with city skyline views above the treetops. Complete with engineered oak floors, split-system heating/cooling, an outdoor shed, a European laundry and ample storage, it offers a rare and enticing turn-key package just moments from South Yarra Station, Prahran Market, multiple tram routes, Toorak Road, Greville Street and Chapel Street's cosmopolitan boutiques and dining, elite schools and the Royal Botanic Gardens.
