Freestanding on 571sqm (approx) and expertly re-envisioned by Matyas Architects, this solid-brick c.1910 Edwardian home delivers an exceptional environment for large-scale family living with three street frontages, secure garaging for two cars via Ashworth Street and a prized setting metres from the beach. Its transformation celebrates timeless proportions, with full-height glass windows and the benefit of its laneway side frontage infusing the home with all-day sun, highlighting a contemporary sensibility and a graceful flow between living spaces.
Across five bedrooms, a purpose-built home office and an additional versatile self-contained studio, the layout offers remarkable flexibility for multi-generational living, guests or work-from-home pursuits. A gallery-like formal sitting room introduces three expansive living zones within the main residence, including an open-plan kitchen and dining domain defined by a spectacular bookmatched calacatta marble island and Gaggenau appliances, integrated Liebherr refrigeration and a concealed fully equipped butler’s pantry. Wall-to-wall double glazed sliding glass doors open to an extraordinary outdoor domain, where a covered deck extends to a solar-heated, self-cleaning pool surrounded by lush gardens, forming intimate privacy for all-season enjoyment. The main suite is a private escape with a large walk-in robe and dual-vanity en-suite, accompanied by a further three spacious robed bedrooms, two bathrooms and a sky-lit third living area. A guest bedroom with robes and ensuite bathroom follows on the ground floor. The studio above the garage encompasses a large living area, fitted with a kitchenette, heating/cooling and powder room, and independent access from Ashworth Street.
Custom Bespoke storage is integrated throughout providing functional solutions, supported by premium appointments including double glazed windows, unique wide-board engineered French oak flooring, external west-facing automated blinds, ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling, heated bathroom floors and towel rails, monitored alarm and 3x 5000l water tanks with automated irrigation. Outdoor indulgence includes a cellar for over 1,500 wine bottles with a motorised hatch, a mains gas BBQ and an outdoor shower. Only half a block to the beach, a short walk to Middle Park Primary School, the number 12 tram to Collins Street and the CBD, and moments from Albert Park Lake, Albert Park and Middle Park Villages and private schools, this is an inspired and exceptional family domain where design, lifestyle and location exist as one.
