Beautifully transformed behind its charming freestanding Victorian façade, this exquisite three-bedroom residence on the fringe of Albert Park Village captures a flawless expression of contemporary design, preserving the beauty of its period origins while introducing an exacting architectural response to modern-day living.
A layered approach to design allows the interior to unfold gradually, progressing from period to contemporary through a series of traditional and modern archways, where a marble threshold and steel-framed courtyard, laid in original bluestone cobblestones, mark the shift into the magnificent open-plan living and dining domains. Calacatta Viola marble is expressed through intricate double bullnose detailing alongside Miele appliances and integrated refrigeration in the striking kitchen, while a custom banquette seating defines the dining area. Custom steel-framed doors open the living area to the private northwest garden, with landscaped greenery creating a lush, secluded backdrop for al-fresco dining.
Two ground-floor bedrooms retain open fireplaces, fitted with abundant storage and full-height linen sheers, joined by a premium skylit bathroom finished in Tundra limestone. A marble landing on the stairs continues the material language upstairs to a second living area and superb main bedroom beneath raked ceilings, complemented by city glimpses, built-in robes, and a limestone ensuite with skylights, a freestanding bath, and underfloor heating.
Distinctly chic in its detail and finished to an elite standard, the quality reflects its coveted position along one of Albert Park's premier beach-to-lake boulevards. Wonderfully appointed with a large limestone-detailed laundry, guest powder room, full-height quality window furnishings, reverse-cycle heating and cooling, double glazing throughout, extensive integrated storage and rear pedestrian access, it sits within the Albert Park Primary and Albert Park College Zone and is within easy reach of leading schools, Albert Park Village cafés, MSAC, trams, the 96 light rail, Albert Park Lake and the beach.
