Only one block from the sand and transformed for modern-day excellence, this Boom-era Victorian is more than it first suggests, opening to a brilliant architectural vision with north-facing flow, secure off-street parking, and an award-winning poolside setting that brings outdoor living into focus.
Superbly proportioned, the entry extends beyond the architect-designed garden and Lump Studio sculpture, leading into a sky-lit hall with natural timber floors and high square-set ceilings, into a substantial living, dining and entertaining zone at the rear. It's here where the connection between indoors and out delivers the home’s most impressive moment, with a custom full-height acrylic window framing the elevated heated pool and spa by Out From The Blue. Complete with a plumbed BBQ and adjoining garage that doubles as an entertainment space with overhead heating, it’s no surprise the design was awarded Victoria’s Best Innovative Pool and Spa by SPASA in 2018.
Miele and AEG appliances are integrated into the streamlined kitchen, where floating stone benchtops and solid cabinetry reinforce the clean, contemporary finish, complemented by an oversized pivot door that extends the custom joinery into a flexible, fully-fitted office with a view to the bamboo-lined courtyard. The main suite follows this calming aesthetic with a desirable ground-floor position, gallery-style robes and a renovated en suite, while two additional bedrooms sit upstairs, each with built-in robes, including one with direct entry to the central bathroom.
Only a few minutes’ walk to the beach, and moments from Albert Park Village, Victoria Avenue's restaurants, trams and Albert Park College, it is irresistibly appealing, finished to the highest standard with hydronic heating, partial double glazing, air-conditioning to every room, a full laundry, powder room, indoor/outdoor theatre system, solar and gas pool/spa heating, a wealth of storage and garage access via Cameron Place.
