With a rich history dating back to its beginnings as the President Lincoln Hotel in 1865, this dual storey bluestone home offers a balance of period elegance and modern finishes, set on 136 sqm (approx) in a prime position, just as Bay St tails from main road to peaceful city edge avenue. With three bedrooms, multiple living spaces, plenty of natural light and a stunning rear alfresco courtyard space, floor plan functionality and undeniable livability shines through from all angles.
An unmissable facade dominated by twin arches opens into a grand hallway and adjacent sitting room, with its tremendous volume accentuated by decorative cornicing, a striking pressed metal ceiling and OFP. Completing the downstairs space is the open living, dining and kitchen zone, and accompanying euro laundry and bathroom, with tranquil rain shower, separate bath and adjacent toilet. The hub of the home profits from a gas fireplace, 800mm Blanco gas cooktop and island bench with breakfast bar seating, and is bathed in natural light from its accompanying north facing outdoor area, steeped in greenery and a genuine air of privacy. Heading past the bespoke timber under stair storage and up to the second level, you’ll find three bedrooms, including a huge, light filled room at the front of the house, oozing the grandeur of a main suite, and a further two bedrooms which benefit from ultra high ceilings, all of which enjoy the comfort of built in split system climate control and plush carpet.
Prime city-edge lifestyle and spacious contemporary elegance unite to provide a unique opportunity, for investors or owner occupiers alike, with room to transform or enjoy as current, just moments from the CBD, South Melbourne Market, Albert Park and the thriving Bay St and Port Melbourne Beach Precincts.
