A comprehensive high-end renovation delivered with architectural precision and impeccable craftsmanship is showcased behind the tuckpointed solid brick façade of this stunning single-level Edwardian opening to a sun-drenched entertainers' courtyard and secure parking. An attractive period presence blends into a fretwork-detailed hallway with a high ceiling and polished Baltic pine floorboards lending a warm welcome as the layout unfolds to 3 beautiful bedrooms and a central designer bathroom integrating a tiled open-glass shower, semi-freestanding bath and lustrous Venetian plaster finishes. Each bedroom offers exceptional comfort and includes built-in robes and ornate open fireplaces, while the sumptuous main suite with tall east-facing windows features an impressive contemporary ensuite with an easy-access shower. A new NZ-made Escea gas fireplace (remote/app-control) backed by Venetian plaster creates a sensational ambience in a superb living room that extends to a spacious and sky-lit, open-plan zone at the rear including natural north light and double-glazed bifolding doors. A stylish family/dining area is accompanied by a premium streamlined kitchen where all-new Bosch stainless-steel appliances, pristine stone countertops, soft-close cabinetry and a breakfast island elevate daily functionality and entertaining to inspiring culinary heights. The outdoor connection with an extra-wide opening to a huge sunlit and secluded courtyard is ideal for private enjoyment or when guests arrive with its alfresco terrace area, low-maintenance plantings and remote-control roller door for prized off-street parking. Just-completed and turnkey-ready, this impeccably presented and peaceful home also features a European laundry, 6.8-mm laminated Acoustic Hush glazing, sheer curtains, Roman blinds, Yabby brass tapware, ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling, rewiring with Cat 6 data cabling, thorough replumbing, and all-new roofing. This remarkable city-edge opportunity requiring minimal maintenance offers enviable lifestyle convenience within a 1-kilometre radius of the cafes, restaurants, shops and trams of Lygon and Brunswick Streets, Rathdowne Village, Princes Park, the Carlton and Edinburgh Gardens, schools and Melbourne University.
