Beautifully designed by Odyssey Architects and expertly delivered by respected inner-city builder Triple Group, this architecturally striking parkfront residence introduces a sophisticated new chapter behind its discreetly revived Victorian façade, unfolding into a captivating contemporary domain across two private levels. Landscaped gardens with lush plantings guide the arrival continuing the parkside serenity before interiors reveal a complete rebuild finished with engineered oak, full-height glazing and carefully selected natural stone. A skylit hallway with soaring ceilings draws natural light deep inside, leading to a breathtaking living and dining zone enhanced by heated polished concrete floors and a seamless visual connection to the garden beyond.
Full-height sliding glass doors extend the living domain to a private terrace designed for relaxed outdoor living, complete with an integrated barbecue, rainwater tank, and leafy greenery cascading from above. The adjoining kitchen makes a confident statement in materiality and performance, appointed with Portsea Grey limestone surfaces, Pitt gas burners, two NEFF pyrolytic ovens with Slide&Hide doors, an integrated dishwasher, and a French door refrigerator freezer. Privately positioned at ground level, the main bedroom introduces wool carpets underfoot and generous robes, supported by a beautifully resolved ensuite finished with a marble vanity, a curved skylight, and a sculpted walk-in shower lined in Japanese ceramic tiles.
Marble transitions through the oak staircase as it rises to the first level, revealing two additional bedrooms with built-in robes and excellent natural light alongside a skylit bathroom with underfloor heating and a pill-shaped bath and shower combination. A study on the landing connects to a rooftop terrace designed for both entertaining and wellness, featuring a HUUM sauna, an outdoor shower, a bar fridge, and provisions for a barbecue kitchen. Keyless entry, hydronic heating, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, double glazing, CCTV, irrigation and secure off-street parking via the rear laneway complete a truly exceptional inner-city retreat, positioned opposite the park reserve and mere moments from South Melbourne Market, Bay Street’s dining scene, Port Melbourne Beach, excellent schools and the light rail for direct CBD access.
