Overview

Postmodern Charm, Inner-City ease

Celebrating its distinctive postmodern architecture, this captivating two-bedroom residence is defined by extraordinary natural light, superb proportions and a completely private north-facing garden setting. Peacefully positioned just steps from Heather Street Reserve, it enjoys exceptional inner-city convenience within walking distance of the Royal Botanic Gardens, cafés, transport and the CBD. A generous formal dining room on entry provides immediate separation and versatility (lending itself to a home office space), stepping down to a well-appointed central kitchen with solid Tasmanian Blackwood benches and a walk-in pantry before opening to the sun-filled northern living domain. A wood-burning fireplace, bagged brick walls and remarkable pine-lined ceilings create warmth and brilliant natural light, while sliding doors extend the space to a secluded red-brick paved courtyard with an established tree and rear access, ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining. Impressively proportioned bedrooms sit upstairs, where the architecture opens to soaring glass and pine-lined ceilings, channeling natural light through the skylit landing. The north-facing main bedroom features built-in robes and city views, alongside a second robed bedroom and a skylit bathroom with integrated laundry facilities. Immaculately presented with scope for further personalisation, this impressive inner-city address delivers the best of the area's leafy serenity, with the ease of Clarendon Street, South Melbourne Market, Albert Park Lake, ANZAC Station, The Domain and the Royal Botanic Gardens all within easy reach, along with leading schools and trams.
