Announcing itself with a front-row view to Gahan Reserve's open space, mature trees and seasonal light, this beautifully renovated double-fronted Victorian with its composed classical profile holds the city at a gentle distance with its peaceful 3 bedroom interior, versatile studio and outlook directly across to parkland greenery.
A long central hallway establishes rhythm and proportions with a high decorative ceiling above polished hardwood floors leading to 3 exceptional bedrooms where the front 2 savour serene vistas of the park while each is kept comfy and completely organised with split-system air-conditioning and fitted built-in robes.
Filled with a daily dose of northern light, a sensational central bathroom is designed to refresh, energise and inspire with under-floor heating, a semi-freestanding bath, frameless rain shower and a stone-topped vanity, complemented by a fabulous separate powder room.
Distinct living and dining areas at the rear with integrated storage, heating/cooling and a wonderful connection to a landscaped courtyard, flow effortless through to an adjoining kitchen, that tailored for everyday ease and entertaining success, features a suite of Bosch stainless-steel appliances, ample bench space and superb storage.
Leafy garden beds frame a flourish of no-mow lawn and a bluestone-paved terrace, where under the gaze of warm sunshine, a secluded setting to relax and entertain includes a dedicated gas point in readiness for long evenings around the BBQ, rear gate access to a sealed laneway and the bonus of a separate studio (with integrated laundry facilities) for working from home or a creative practice in light-filled privacy.
Balancing an elegant heritage presence with sublime contemporary comfort, this outstanding single-level home directly opposite parkland quietly stands in one of Abbotsford's most compelling pockets only moments to cafes, Yarra River nature trails, Johnston and Victoria Streets' shopping and restaurant precincts, the Convent and the children's farm, schools, trams and trains into the city.
