Hidden away from thoroughfares while remaining as convenient as could be, this sun-splashed gem proves the perfect family retreat or professional’s base by the best of the vibrant inner north. With its care for function evident from the outset, an inviting ground level sees a broad bedroom with its own powder room and courtyard double as the ideal home office, while on a sun-soaked top floor, main and guest bedrooms are well-served by excellent storage, a chic master ensuite with a bath, and in-vogue central bathroom. Wonderfully open for seamless entertaining, a middle-level living/dining domain spills into a completely covered terrace, brilliant for a Sunday barbecue, morning coffee listening to the birds, or late-night drink after indulging in the local fare. A gourmet kitchen features stone benches, a 900mm Baumatic oven, gas stovetop, and dishwasher, while other highlights include engineered oak floors, trendy black tapware, heating/cooling, a European laundry, shed, and garage. Melville Road trams reach the CBD via Royal Park, major hospitals, and the University of Melbourne, while CityLink, Moreland Station, respected schools, and lively Sydney Road sit just moments away.
