An exceedingly rare opportunity to restore one of East Melbourne's genuinely enduring classics, this exquisitely detailed, brick Edwardian residence is idyllically situated right on the city's eastern fringe and nestled within some of its most iconic parkland. Built-in 1915 and cherished across the generations, this three bedroom residence with two living zones is set on bluestone foundations, rising majestically above its streetscape to present an unmistakable sense of grandeur that can not be replicated, all within walking distance of the MCG.
Opening to reveal the strong bones, superb pressed metal ceilings and leadlight windows that so define its era, the home flows past a regal, bay-windowed lounge room with an open fireplace. A second living or dining room is also warmed by a fireplace, all before culminating in a basically presented kitchen / meals that gazes out upon the home's backyard. The bedrooms, with some alterations, each offer impressively scaled and lofty accommodation - all set upstairs, with the study, a semi-ensuite and a treetop terrace plus there is a laundry, a second wc and generous under stair storage, while rear pedestrian access has the added bonus and the potential to create car access via a wide and easily accessible right-of-way is a huge drawcard.
This is a blue ribbon inner urban position that allows you to walk to every sporting, cultural or entertainment event Melbourne has to offer, as well as the city, Bridge Road, Fitzroy Gardens, Yarra Park and all modes of transport while elite schools and the M1 Freeway are just moments away.
