An outstanding example of Victorian architecture transformed for contemporary living, "Avondale" has been comprehensively reimagined by award-winning Greenaway Architects, introducing spectacular architectural drama behind its tuckpointed solid brick facade. Occupying a prized position in a wide, tree-lined street moments from the beach and Armstrong Street Village, its exceptional design maximises a sun-drenched northern aspect, with the added advantage of dual street frontage and secure off-street parking via Richardson Street.
Once featured in Homes Magazine, the sophisticated interiors celebrate the design's ingenuity, with beautifully resolved contemporary spaces extending from the gallery entrance hall to the dramatic double-height living and dining domain. High-set glazing captures brilliant northern light and picturesque views through the neighbouring plane trees, while oversized full-height sliding glass doors provide an uninterrupted connection between the expansive living and dining domain and the private courtyard. Entertaining flows seamlessly from the superbly appointed stone kitchen, featuring Gaggenau induction cooking, a Smeg oven, a Bosch integrated dishwasher, and integrated Liebherr refrigeration, to the paved al-fresco area with a plumbed gas BBQ.
Two generous ground-floor bedrooms with built-in robes, including one with an elegant arched bay window, share a stylish bathroom with a Roman bath and separate shower, while the impressive upper-level main suite features elevated treetop outlooks, with an entire wall of fitted robes and a stylish en-suite. Sliding glass panels overlooking the soaring void provide privacy from the living areas below, while preserving the mezzanine's open design. Comprehensive appointments include hydronic heating, split-system air-conditioning, motorised external louvres, a gallery hanging system, sisal carpets, an alarm and intercom, European laundry, abundant storage and secure off-street parking beyond electric gates, all within the Albert Park College Zone, moments from Middle Park Primary School, MSAC, popular cafés, city-bound trams and the light rail.
