Overview

Captivating Entertainer in a Prestigious Parkside Position

Fast Five Why? Flowing over two levels on a corner block, the natural ease of this Victorian-era treasure is perfectly in tune with a spectacular renovation. Embrace a masterful sense of space, style and sunlight internally before drifting to a paved courtyard at the east-facing rear. Dine, recline and entertain alfresco with exemplary perimeter privacy and an automated awning providing shelter and shade. Everything about this inner-city retreat feels right! What? Expertly renovated to accommodate every requirement of modern living, this captivating former shop and dwelling introduces itself with a spacious living room under soaring ceilings with original timber boards underfoot. A natural stone-finished kitchen is chef friendly graced with soft-closing cabinetry, an inviting island bench topped with reclaimed oak, and the full suite of high-performing Smeg appliances. An adjoining dining/living area is framed by double-glazed, bi-fold doors leading to a private courtyard for seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining opportunities. Additionally, a sleek full-sized bathroom is a welcome ground-floor feature, standing out with floor-to-ceiling tiles, a concealed cistern, and rainfall/hand-held shower fittings. Both sunlit and sizeable bedrooms are stationed upstairs, serviced by a luxe bathroom highlighting full-height tiles, a marble-topped vanity, and a shower over a sumptuous bathtub. Nearby, a skylit upstairs retreat is ideal for slipping away for some quiet time in air-conditioned comfort. From vision to completion, every dazzling detail in this rejuvenated retreat has been thoughtfully integrated with the addition of split-system heating/cooling upstairs and down, a handy Euro laundry, a versatile study zone, ceiling fans, plantation shutters, double glazing, exquisite lighting, and potential for off-street parking accessed via Thomson Street. Where? An exclusive offering in a parkside setting, explore the very best of this special neighbourhood. Take an easy stroll to fresh South Melbourne Market produce, the seasonal colour of St Vincent Gardens, leading schools, Albert Park Village, and the blue-water beauty of Albert Park Lake and Kerferd Road Beach. With key zoning to South Melbourne Park Primary School and Albert Park College, this is a valued location your whole family will love! When? This singular opportunity is prepared for a Boardroom Auction via Zoom on Wednesday 1st April at 5.00pm. How? Call Simone Chin on 0403 857 266 for further information and inspect as advertised.
