Positioned in one of Parkville's most tightly held streets, this deceptively spacious four-bedroom plus study Victorian combines period character with a considered modern renovation.
Zoned for both The University High School and North Melbourne Primary School, the home is within walking distance of The University of Melbourne, Royal Melbourne Hospital, local childcare options, trams and the new Parkville railway station.
Behind the lace-trimmed double fronted façade and verandah, a central hallway with soaring three-metre ceilings introduces a series of generously proportioned rooms and flexible family spaces.
Four large bedrooms with fireplaces and built-in robes, a dedicated study, and a marble bathroom with freestanding bath are positioned at the front of the home, while the rear opens into an expansive kitchen, living and dining domain with parquetry flooring throughout.
Designed for entertaining, the kitchen features a marble island bench, stainless steel benchtops, premium Miele and Smeg appliances including a six-burner cooker, and extensive custom cabinetry. Sliding doors connect seamlessly to a north-west-facing courtyard garden with rear laneway access via roller door and possible future off street parking.
Upstairs, the privately positioned main suite includes a marble ensuite and fully fitted walk-in dressing room, while an additional bedroom with built-in robes adds further flexibility.
Additional features include a full laundry with internal courtyard access, cellar, original Baltic pine floorboards, decorative ceilings, ducted heating, reverse-cycle cooling, outdoor storage and excellent internal storage throughout.
Moments from Royal Park, the shops and dining of North Melbourne, and with direct access to the CBD via tram and train, this is a substantial family home in one of inner Melbourne's most sought-after neighbourhoods.
