Pairing period elegance with modern excellence, this comprehensively renovated Victorian delivers sublime city-fringe living in a locale revered for its tranquillity, amenity, and heritage charm. A grand entrance sets the tone for sophistication, with soaring ornate ceilings, European oak parquetry floors, and solid European oak joinery accentuating its inherent character. A gas fireplace warms the elegant living spaces, while quiet dining areas flow into a sunroom illuminated by a vented Velux skylight. An open meals zone adjoins the state-of-the-art kitchen, complete with custom timber cabinetry, European stone benchtops, twin rangehoods, a vented induction cooktop, Billi 5-in-1 tap, and a full suite of top-of-the-range Miele appliances. Smart-home integration and a phone-linked security system provide peace of mind, complemented by three-zone climate control, electric blinds, and designer LED lighting throughout. Upstairs, three substantial bedrooms with robe storage are serviced by a luxury central bathroom and master ensuite, each showcasing premium fittings and heated floors. An era-typical balcony offers leafy East Melbourne views. Designed for entertaining, a covered retreat with an outdoor kitchen and mains gas barbecue makes summer gatherings effortless. A powder room, laundry, and a double garage with wine cellar (via Robert Russell Lane) complete the picture. Steps from trains, trams, the MCG, Fitzroy and Treasury Gardens, and Melbourne’s vibrant East End, this home represents the perfect balance of heritage grandeur and contemporary luxury.
