A grand presence in a tightly-held cul-de-sac, this magnificent 1880 Hawthorn Brick Victorian home delivers exceptional proportion, timeless elegance and liveability within steps of Bay Street and the beach. Defined by oversized proportions, secure parking via right of way, and exquisite ornate beauty, it is a compelling four-bedroom residence offering city-fringe amenity with the privacy and serenity of a secluded garden allotment.
Beyond its elegant façade, a vast double-arched hallway introduces the original front rooms, where a formal sitting room and ground-floor guest bedroom each feature period fireplaces. High ceilings and a sense of openness continue to a large bathroom with concealed European laundry and an expansive open-plan living and dining domain, underscored by a granite kitchen appointed with Neff appliances, a Bosch dishwasher and a walk-in pantry.
Bi-fold glass doors extend the interior into the north-facing light courtyard and a landscaped rear terrace with a built-in Weber BBQ and outdoor fireplace, inspiring memorable evenings. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms with built-in robes are complemented by a central bathroom with semi-ensuite access, while the front bedroom opens to a lacework balcony overlooking the quiet streetscape.
Richly detailed with original stained glass, soaring ceilings, Baltic pine, and hardwood floors, the home also includes ducted heating, air-conditioning and a powder room. Delivering a rare level of privacy and space in a location prized for both lifestyle and amenity, it offers immediate proximity to Bay Street’s celebrated dining and retail precinct, Port Melbourne Beach, local parks, excellent schools, and the light rail to the CBD.
