Overview

A Parkville classic, beautifully evolved

Beautifully preserved where it matters and thoughtfully updated where it counts, this is a home that offers the romance of Victorian architecture without compromising the way you want to live today. With Royal Park across the road and Ievers Reserve to the rear, its setting is every bit as special. Beyond the well-presented front garden, the entrance hall introduces the scale and detail of the original home. High ceilings, timber floors and period features continue into the front lounge, where an original fireplace and built-in cabinetry create a room with warmth and presence. Further along, the dining room (possible 4th bedroom) opens through French doors to a leafy lightwell, bringing greenery and natural light into the centre of the home. A downstairs WC is neatly tucked beneath the original staircase, before the house transitions to more contemporary living spaces. A generous kitchen anchors this part of the home with extensive storage and modern appliances, plus a cleverly positioned island dining/meals area also opening to a side courtyard. From here, the full width living/family room opens through French doors to the private brick courtyard, creating an easy connection between indoors and out. Beautifully secluded, the paved courtyard leads to secure garaging/workshop with additional storage and excellent rear access from Redpath Rise. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms continue the home's sense of scale and character. At the front bedroom, French doors open to the balcony and a leafy outlook across Royal Park, while the rear bedroom enjoys its own ensuite and walk-in robe. A substantial family bathroom with a full-sized bath and walk-in shower completes the level. Hydronic heating throughout, comprehensive cooling on both levels and high-speed connectivity add further everyday comfort. With green space at both ends and the city within easy reach, 84 Gatehouse Street brings together the character, space and practicality that make this pocket of Parkville so enduringly appealing.
