Opposite the Albert Park Lake precinct and parklands, this landmark 1920s solid-brick residence presents an imposing street presence behind a secure, gated entry, unfolding across a deep, dual-frontage allotment of 505sqm (approx), with vehicle access for multiple vehicles. Grand ornate beauty, extraordinary proportions, architectural integrity, and considered modern upgrades form a substantial family home unlike most along this famed strip, framed by newly landscaped gardens front and rear extending to Canterbury Place at the rear.
A magnificent foyer with soaring ceilings and hardwood timber floors leads toward sun-drenched open living and dining zones at the rear, where light fills the space and sash windows overlook the decked verandah and lawned gardens. The central kitchen is generously scaled and well equipped with Bosch, Electrolux, and Smeg appliances, serving as a practical and social centrepoint for indoor-outdoor entertaining. An exquisite formal living room to the front showcases the home’s impressive period grandeur, with rich timber panelling, an ornate fireplace, and a bay window drawing in the northern light. A sun-filled study with wide garden outlooks through oversized picture windows adds versatility to this space, with an additional study nook to the rear, set beside a brand new designer bathroom and three spacious bedrooms, two with original fireplaces and leadlight detailing.
Upstairs, a gallery-style landing leads to two further en-suite bedrooms, including a privately positioned main suite with a walk-in robe, en-suite, and a north-facing, tree-lined balcony terrace overlooking the park. Appointed with hydronic heating, split-system air conditioning, new 100% wool carpets, a large laundry with dual courtyard access, cellar storage, powder room, dimmable lighting, and ample off-street parking, including a double garage and additional vehicle gates to the side. Beautifully presented and refined, it offers an exceptional and scarce opportunity for large-scale family needs amongst a premier, parkfront address, close to the light rail, the beach, leading schools, Armstrong Street village shops, and MSAC.
