Brimming with natural light and irresistible charm, this recently renovated c1890 block-fronted Victorian offers a rare, delightful single-level setting in one of Albert Park's most tightly held pockets. Quietly positioned within the St Vincent Gardens precinct, only one street from Albert Park Village, its turnkey interiors and deep private courtyard make it instantly appealing, while Commercial 1 zoning affords the flexibility to live or work from this prized address.
Sunlight streams through the entry hall to the rear open-plan living and dining room, where the contemporary extension opens through full-width cedar bi-fold doors to a spectacular decked courtyard, extending the interior proportions well beyond its walls. Deep, completely private, and surrounded by irrigated greenery, it is a true outdoor living and entertaining space, with built-in seating and a retractable awning that provides shelter throughout the warmer months, making it usable and inviting year-round. An additional light-well draws in the sun, adjoining the well-appointed kitchen with updated cabinetry. A renovated skylit bathroom features striking stone tiling, ample storage, and laundry facilities, while the generously sized bedroom maximises its footprint with full-height wall-to-wall storage, built-in bedsides, and a fitted desk.
Morning coffee, fine dining and shopping are all part of the appeal here, with the tennis club and boules nearby and South Melbourne Market an easy walk from home. Albert Park Lake, MSAC and the beach broaden weekend possibilities, while nearby light rail and trams make trips into the CBD and St Kilda foreshore remarkably easy. Split-system heating and cooling and automated garden irrigation complete an enviably located inner-city base, with so much of Albert Park and its surroundings ready to enjoy on foot.
