Set within an elegant period streetscape in one of East Melbourne's most prestigious and tightly held addresses, this architect-designed terrace residence by Michael McCabe delivers sophisticated contemporary living in the peaceful surrounds of the Yarra Park precinct. Impeccably maintained by its current owners, the home showcases a stylish and versatile three-level floorplan with exceptional indoor-outdoor living and entertaining spaces, all enjoyed in complete privacy.
Inside, a refined neutral palette is complemented by beautiful spotted gum timber floors and staircases throughout, creating warmth and timeless appeal. The ground floor introduces a formal dining room and powder room before opening to an expansive open plan living and family domain. At its heart is a superbly appointed kitchen featuring stone benchtops, a large island bench, premium Miele and Smeg appliances, and a walk-in pantry. Bi-fold doors seamlessly connect the interior to a private leafy courtyard and covered walkway leading to a remote double garage with rear access via Margaret Lane.
The first floor is dedicated to a luxurious main bedroom retreat, complete with a spacious ensuite, walk-in robes, and private front balcony. This level also includes a laundry and an additional living area or parents' retreat, which flows across a bridge walkway to a rooftop deck also accessible from the courtyard below offering the perfect setting for a morning coffee or evening drink.
The upper level features a striking rooftop void and two generous bedrooms, each with its own private balcony, including one with leafy outlooks towards Melbourne's iconic city skyline. A central family bathroom, second powder room, and dedicated study or home office further enhance the home's flexibility and functionality.
Additional features include video intercom entry, alarm system, CCTV, zoned ducted heating and cooling throughout, ceiling fans in the bedrooms, gas fireplace in the retreat, ducted vacuum, double-glazed windows, and extensive internal storage, including a wine cellar beneath the stairs.
Peacefully positioned in arguably one of the area's finest locations, this exceptional residence is moments from Wellington Parade trams and within walking distance of Melbourne's renowned sporting and entertainment precinct, including the MCG, AAMI Park, and the National Tennis Centre, as well as the Southbank arts precinct. An outstanding selection of restaurants, wine bars, cafés, and shopping in East Melbourne, the CBD, and Richmond are all close by, while nearby walks along the Yarra River and through the Treasury, Fitzroy, and Royal Botanic Gardens complete an enviable lifestyle offering.
