Overview

A Victorian beauty, rich in history and northern light

Occupying an exceptional true-north position with three separate frontages, 'Nymphsfield' is a freestanding Victorian residence dating back to the mid-1880s, held and meticulously maintained by the same owner for 30 years. Every improvement has respected the home's Victorian character, allowing its original beauty to sit comfortably alongside the updates expected for modern family living, including off-street secure parking for two. Newly landscaped gardens edged with bluestone and illuminated cobblestone paths lead to a grand arched hallway showcasing restored Baltic pine floors, soaring ceilings, and the solid bluestone foundations on which the home was built. Three generous bedrooms, two featuring original fireplaces, are accompanied by an updated Federation-style bathroom before the hallway extends to a sun-filled living room with an open fireplace and glorious northern light. The adjoining kitchen and spacious meals area is fitted with brand-new Westinghouse and Samsung appliances, while sliding doors connect the interior to an elevated entertaining deck and a beautifully presented sun-drenched garden. With side gate pedestrian access, roller door access via the rear right of way, a garden shed and an outdoor WC, the substantial rear garden provides immediate enjoyment along with outstanding scope to further enhance or extend the home over time (STCA). Freshly painted inside and out, it also includes ducted heating, a restored slate roof, automated front-garden irrigation, wired landscape lighting, and brand-new kitchen fixtures and tapware. Positioned between Ripponlea Village and Carlisle Street’s vibrant dining strip, it is an easy walk to both Ripponlea and Balaclava Stations, multiple tram routes, popular cafés, restaurants, St Kilda Botanical Gardens, parks and a choice of leading schools.
