Just one block from the beach, this exceptional five-bedroom solid-brick Edwardian occupies a commanding 654sqm (approx.) corner allotment, combining timeless period character with refined contemporary living in one of bayside Melbourne's most coveted settings. Behind remote-controlled gates, north-facing landscaped gardens with an aqua-therapy mineral spa, secure off-street parking and eligibility for resident parking permits (STCA) create a private sanctuary, moments from Armstrong Street Village, light rail, Middle Park Primary, Albert Park Lake and within the prized Albert Park College zone.
Pressed-tin ceilings and Art Nouveau leadlight windows introduce a grand hallway, revealing three generous ground-floor bedrooms and two beautifully appointed bathrooms, including a private guest suite with ensuite. Gessi and Zucchetti tapware, Caesarstone benchtops, and Victoria + Albert and Villeroy & Boch fixtures reflect the home's uncompromising quality.
Beneath soaring 3.8-metre ceilings, the expansive open-plan living and dining domain is bathed in northern light, with full-height glazing creating a seamless connection to the landscaped gardens and pool. A Heat & Glo gas fireplace and peppercorn floorboards bring warmth and continuity throughout.
Designed for effortless entertaining, the kitchen features engineered stone benchtops, three Miele dishwashers, two Miele self-cleaning ovens, a Miele induction cooktop, integrated Liebherr refrigerators, a Waste Master and a fully equipped scullery.
The north-facing gardens centre around a 4 x 3-metre aqua-therapy mineral spa and plunge pool, heating to 40 degrees in approximately two hours, complemented by automated irrigation, a 2,500-litre rainwater tank, bespoke metal garden sculptures, a concealed lockable garden shed and an extra-large weatherproof storage unit.
Upstairs, a city-view bar and kitchenette precede the private main suite, complete with a luxurious ensuite, walk-in robe, sitting area and an expansive terrace with panoramic skyline views. A fifth bedroom or home office and an additional bathroom provide further flexibility.
Designer lighting, electric blinds, reverse-cycle heating and cooling to every room, double glazing, a comprehensive security camera system, extensive storage and a generous laundry complete this remarkable beachside residence.
