Two blocks from the beach in an admired tree-lined setting, this picturesque double-fronted Edwardian home reveals an unexpected layout designed for connection, longevity and light. Held within one family for more than thirty years, it spans a substantial 507 sqm (approx) allotment behind an exquisite garden frontage, pairing its graceful façade with generous contemporary proportions that sit harmoniously within its exclusive surroundings. A cross over from York Street adds potential for off-street car parking, enhancing everyday convenience in this highly sought-after locale.
Beyond the timber verandah, soaring ceilings, ornate roses, and leadlight windows recall the era’s early grandeur through a formal sitting room and library /study, each with a period fireplace and verdant connections to the north -east facing front garden. Baltic pine floors extend through the hall, enriched by a central skylight, which leads to three large bedrooms with built-in robes and a bright bathroom, before opening onto an architect-designed rear extension that draws sunlight deep into the interior.
Evoking a genuine wow factor, the open living and dining area extends beneath conservatory-style glass and high-arched ceilings, enhanced by an entertainer’s kitchen equipped with Miele and Blanco appliances and granite benchtops. Bi-fold doors ensure effortless transitions to the broad paved terrace and garden, where a towering native gum, established Magnolia, and fragrant Jasmine lend a tranquil, natural privacy to outdoor entertaining.
Upstairs, the main bedroom enjoys total seclusion and treetop views, featuring a walk-in robe, en-suite, and a retreat-like ambience. Complete with a storage-rich laundry, extensive storage, a powder room, and an attic, together with ducted and hydronic heating, split-system cooling upstairs, it presents as an exceptional family domain within the Albert Park College zone, moments from Catani Gardens, the foreshore, light rail, and the café culture of Middle Park Village.
