Welcome to a remarkable contemporary transformation of a classic Victorian terrace, by the award winning Carr Design Group. This is a true entertainers home featuring multiple distinct living zones and seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining centers connecting high end finishes throughout with an oasis of leafy tranquility through floor to ceiling sliding doors. Perfect for year-round entertaining, the usually sun-kissed central courtyard also features a fully extendable roof, offering the occasionally needed shelter from Melbournian weather ensuring endless opportunity to gather friends and family no matter the season.
The sheer level of space, light, and volume are bound to impress as soon as you walk in the door, from the formal sitting and dining rooms featuring a gas fireplace, to the spacious family room and a private his and hers library with in-built desks providing optimal work life balance. A chefs kitchen over 10m long delivers Corian benches, a hidden appliance cupboard, integrated Gaggenau appliances with the addition of a commercial fridge, ice maker and concealed butler's pantry with endless storage throughout.
Upstairs, you'll find the generous master wing at the front of the house complete with a private balcony offering views over the tree-lined street. With the same impressively high ceilings (approximately 3.6m), gas fireplace, palatial dimensions, walk-in-robe with double hanging space and storage island, plus an ensuite with freestanding bath relishing private courtyard outlooks, the master suite offers unparalleled comfort and luxury. Three additional bedrooms at the rear provide ample additional accommodation while enjoying skylight ambiance throughout.
Rounding off this show stopping family residence, there is a modern main bathroom, two powder rooms, security system, video intercom, electric louvres, dumbwaiter, limestone floors, zoned heating/cooling, floor heating in living spaces and the main suite, secure double garage parking with internal access, and to cap it all off, a hidden bluestone staircase leading to private underground storage with a 4000 plus bottle temperature-controlled wine room.
Superbly positioned on the tranquil and leafy Gipps Street in a coveted pocket of East Melbourne just moments from Fitzroy Gardens, the CBD, MCG, trams, cafes and Jolimont station, this magnificent home also happens to be conveniently located providing the exceptional Melbournian lifestyle.
