Nestled among the Hotham Gardens complex adored for its thoughtful design and generous gardens designed by renowned Beryl Mann, this low-maintenance gem pairs peace and tranquillity with city-fringe vibrancy.
A North Melbourne staple since its 1960 completion, Hotham Gardens owes its allure to era-prominent architects including Roy Grounds, John Mockridge, and John Murphy et al, with the home itself a fully renovated retreat primed for instant comfort. Cool in summer and warm in winter courtesy of concrete and double-brick construction, the abode's clever interior places function at the fore, with everything from profuse, custom-crafted joinery to all-day northern sunlight and high-quality inclusions making daily life a joy. Two broad bedrooms both feature full-height robes, while a wonderfully open living/dining domain spills onto a balcony where London Planes paint a memorable backdrop.
Extensive bench and cabinet space enhance a Bosch and Westinghouse-equipped kitchen, while other highlights include a large bathroom with integrated laundry, 14mm blackbutt floors, electric heating, instantaneous gas hot water, communal security cameras, meticulously maintained outdoor areas, and eligibility for multiple parking permits. Only a quick tram or bike ride from the CBD, a prized position means a car is simply not a necessity, with Errol Street eateries, entertainment, and nightlife, Arden Station, Royal Park, zoned University High, hospitals, and the University of Melbourne all steps away.
