A true rarity in such a prized location with its unrivalled interior proportions and land dimensions, this substantial Federation residence c1908 stands on a 557sqm (approx.) allotment with rear parking amid immaculate established gardens. Located on a wide treelined boulevard on the edge of the city, high-wall privacy to an attractive period profile introduces a largely original interior with an attic level that completely comfortable with charming character is highlighted by pressed metal ceilings, Art Nouveau fretwork, bay windows and Kauri pine floorboards. A wide entrance hallway launches an extra-spacious layout where 2 huge bedrooms precede a great-sized third bedroom and a versatile attic space that's a study or reading retreat. A bright ground-floor bathroom with a terrazzo floor offers classic convenience while further is an expansive formal dining room, a lounge room and an east-facing family room that all converge in a big-hearted kitchen including Gaggenau and Miele appliances. The secure and sun-filled rear garden is as neat as a pin and with its elevated terrace, lemon tree and Hills hoist harking back to simpler times, offers plenty of room for fresh new ideas when the time is right. There's also a full-size laundry, ducted heating, split-system air-conditioner, external powder room plus a remote-control carport with ROW from Richardson Street. Filled with the confidence of its Federation era origins, this outstanding property's extraordinarily large setting is ready when desired to be reimagined into a showpiece family domain in a prime position zoned to Princes Hill Primary and Secondary College, near Rathdowne Village cafes, Lygon Street shopping and restaurants, Princes Park, trams and Melbourne University.
