Overview

North-facing Victorian with exciting scope

Facing north within a dress-circle Emerald Hill streetscape, this double-fronted, freestanding Victorian is a single-level prize with extraordinary scope in one of the inner-city’s most tightly held pockets. Wide and leafy, the address is reputed to be the broadest residential street in Melbourne, with an enviable position amongst the area's most magnificent homes, a short walk from Albert Park Lake and MSAC. A grand arched hallway flows from the façade, opening to three generous bedrooms, two with built-in robes, and a central bathroom of impressive proportion. Northern light streams deep into the rear living, dining, and kitchen areas through oversized picture windows and sliding glass doors, extending to a red-brick-paved courtyard garden crowned by a mature lemon tree. The kitchen is well-appointed with Westinghouse and Smeg appliances, with daily ease enhanced by a split-system air conditioning unit, electric heating, a second external WC, and a garden shed. Wide side-lane access enhances future potential for off-street parking or extension (STCA), all while preserving a coveted single-level footprint. Within easy reach of South Melbourne Market, Clarendon Street dining, city trams and leading schools, this is a rare opportunity to secure an address long admired for its architectural heritage and dynamic urban lifestyle. Land size: 178sqm (approx).
