A mid Victorian masterpiece accompanied by history rooted in the gold rush, this tremendous terrace offers quiet, leafy luxury with the best of Melbourne at its doorstep. With care given to preserving its character, an iron fence and lacework façade preludes interiors where functioning fireplaces, a corbel arched hallway, and high, ornate ceilings all accentuate heritage appeal. Doubling as a fourth bedroom, a relaxing front lounge complements a central sitting room, while at rear, a first class Miele kitchen and open dining area step into a covered alfresco and north facing backyard brilliant for entertaining and unwinding among plant life. Giving the option to live on one level, a ground floor guest room is served by a chic, skylit bathroom, while a smart second bathroom joins excellent storage in serving main and third bedrooms upstairs. A dedicated study is ideal for the home professional, while other highlights include reverse cycle heating/cooling, substantial attic space, two bathtubs, blackbutt floors, Commercial zoning for potential business use, two sheds, flourishing plant life headlined by weeping cherry, Japanese maple, and fig trees, and secure parking for two cars via a no through asphalt laneway. On the fringe of East Melbourne with idyllic Fitzroy Gardens mere seconds away, it’s never more than steps to great coffee, thriving nightlife, diverse cuisine, boutique shops, leisure paths, touring productions, the MCG, and countless transport options for quick commuting in all directions.
