Overview

Edinburgh Gardens elegance with a huge garden courtyard

Inner-north Melbourne's most prestigious Edinburgh Gardens' precinct pocket is the highly-coveted location of this impressive Victorian residence where wide, prominent frontage and an extensive, single-level floorplan reveal a huge rear, landscaped courtyard setting. Sunlit native garden and a beautiful Boom-era façade introduce a superbly-renovated interior launched by an arched hallway and honey-toned oak flooring leading to the enduring heritage character of an elegant north-facing living room with its high ornate ceiling, open fireplace and tall light-capturing glazing. Complemented by a modern central bathroom including a stone-topped vanity and a heated towel rail, plus a separate laundry, generously-proportioned accommodation offers outstanding comfort with 2 east-facing bedrooms wrapped in period charm featuring open fireplaces and built-in robes. A stylish, contemporary rear arrangement of a gourmet kitchen featuring quality Miele appliances and a stainless-steel breakfast island, along with an adjoining dining area with French doors, link seamlessly out to a substantial courtyard designed for alfresco entertaining with its landscaped native garden beds and fixed seating framed by a high bluestone wall and fencing. Other excellent attributes include, ducted heating, split-system air-conditioning, fixed shelving and storage, and ornate ceiling roses. A remarkable single-storey, low-maintenance opportunity with potential if desired for further expansion (STCA), this impeccably-presented, solid brick home is a sheer delight offering immediate indoor-outdoor enjoyment in a blue-ribbon locale. Stroll with ease to the open, treed expanses of the Edinburgh Gardens and savour an exceptional city-edge lifestyle close to Queens Parade and North Fitzroy Villages, Smith and High Streets trams, Clifton Hill train station, and a selection of primary and secondary schools.
