Overview

Sun-Filled, Solid-Brick Sanctuary

Brimming with northern light and hidden from the street by high walls and low-maintenance garden surrounds, this refreshed, inviting three-bedroom solid-brick residence is a private sanctuary in a coveted and serene, inner-city precinct. Beyond a secure gated front entrance and a deep forecourt, a light-filled glass conservatory provides a versatile space for a home office or lounge zone before opening to expansive living and dining areas, with a substantial kitchen and meals area extending to the beyond. Generously proportioned and well appointed, it offers extensive storage and ample space for cooking and hosting, with the adjoining laundry adding further utility. Direct access to the rear courtyard allows entertaining to continue outdoors beside established olive trees that provide shade and ambience year-round. Three robed bedrooms accompany two bathrooms upstairs, including a north-facing main bedroom with city outlooks, fitted walk-through robes, a contemporary skylit ensuite, and a hidden, traditional cedar-lined sauna. The second skylit bathroom features a deep Japanese-style soaking bath, whilst further highlights include split-system heating and cooling, abundant storage and gated ROW access to the rear, all within easy walking distance of Clarendon Street dining and popular gastro pubs, Albert Park Lake and MSAC, the Royal Botanic Gardens, South Melbourne Market, excellent schools and a choice of city-bound tram routes.
