Period beauty takes on a spectacular new dimension in this architecturally transformed freestanding Victorian, with its corner site and northern rear aspect each harnessed to create a private family sanctuary of light and contemporary luxury. Enviably set between Turner and Crichton reserves in a quiet pocket near Bay Street’s lively shopping precinct, its low-maintenance garden setting and tree-lined surrounds offer an enviable way of living just moments from the city.
Past landscaped mature gardens, sleek interiors replete with engineered oak floors and high ceilings extend throughout the ground floor to expansive living and dining areas, served by a gourmet kitchen with stone benches, premium appliances, integrated Liebherr refrigeration, and a walk-in pantry. A generous island bench hosts casual dining and large-scale entertaining, met with an ambient gas fireplace and corner stacking sliders that open the entire living domain to a decked courtyard wrapped in cascading greenery and a climbing green wall. Accommodation is equally impressive, with a ground-floor king-sized main bedroom featuring a fitted walk-in robe and a stunning skylit ensuite. Two further bedrooms are positioned upstairs, each with bespoke storage, including one with a desk, offering versatility for all ages and needs, and are accompanied by a well-appointed wet-room bathroom.
Additional features include double glazing, reverse-cycle heating and cooling units, underfloor heating in both bathrooms, a powder room, a dedicated laundry, garden irrigation, CCTV, and abundant storage, including an attic, roof access, and an external lock-up shed. Gated side access provides easy maintenance access or a quick route to the city-bound light rail, whilst Port Melbourne Primary School, the beach, cafes, South Melbourne Market and the CBD are all within effortless reach.
