Overview

A Stylish Sanctuary in Coveted Emerald Hill

Occupying a prized dress-circle position in the historic Emerald Hill precinct, this captivating 1857 Victorian cottage is a sophisticated expression of inner-city living, with its picturesque heritage character and dual-level chic contemporary interiors creating an irresistible lifestyle proposition. Beautifully secluded behind a lush, landscaped frontage, the charming period façade hides a clever renovation that delivers exceptional indoor-outdoor living, moments from South Melbourne's celebrated cultural and culinary attractions. High ceilings and warm engineered oak floors introduce the inviting living and dining area, with a gas fireplace adding intimate ambience and leafy garden views that draw natural light from two directions. The streamlined kitchen and meals area beyond continues the sleek modern aesthetic, with timber benchtops and premium Miele appliances, with French doors opening to a private, high-walled red-brick courtyard with a stunning northern aspect and gated pedestrian access via ROW, perfect for al-fresco dining. A generous king-sized north-facing bedroom enjoys glimpses of the city skyline from above, with built-in robes and a bright en-suite featuring a shower over bath. A guest powder room, European laundry, split-system heating and cooling, ceiling fans and permit street parking further enhance the appeal of this peaceful yet highly coveted cosmopolitan address, just a short stroll from South Melbourne Market, Clarendon Street's vibrant restaurants, cafes and boutiques, St Vincent Gardens, Albert Park Lake, MSAC, multiple tram lines and the light rail.
