Fronting the verdant expanse of St Vincent Gardens, this distinguished c1880 Victorian residence presents magnificently restored proportions that rise to meet its dress-circle address, extending through to north-facing landscaped gardens with rear garaging and a second frontage via Draper Street.
Led by a rose- and magnolia-lined garden, the magnificent interiors introduce a sumptuous sitting room and an elegant formal dining room, both with soaring 12ft ceilings and ornate marble fireplaces. Versailles parquet flooring continues into the open living and dining domain, passing a private landscaped light well, emphasising the idyllic indoor-outdoor connections. Streaming with northern light, the gourmet kitchen features natural stone benches and European appliances, including two Liebherr wine store refrigerators, opening through bi-fold doors to the north-facing garden, covered by an automatic awning, and finished with bluestone paving and low-maintenance garden edges.
Accommodations are equally impressive, with a lavishly-sized main bedroom benefitting from uninterrupted park outlooks from the iron-lace balcony, built-in storage and a marble-detailed ensuite. A central bathroom with a freestanding bath serves two additional robed bedrooms, one capturing city views, while above the garage, a self-contained studio with its own independent street access adds flexibility for guests or a home office suite.
Exclusively positioned just moments to Albert Park Village, trams, South Melbourne market, Albert Park Lake, leading schools and the beach, it includes an alarm, wide gated side access, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, powder room, laundry, garden irrigation and extensive storage.
