Beyond its picturesque block-fronted façade, this c1890s Victorian home unfolds with enduring charm and unexpected space, enriched by brilliant natural light and a layout that supports daily relaxation and coveted lifestyle connections. Set along a quiet tightly-held, tree-lined crescent just moments from St Vincent Gardens and Albert Park Village, it places MSAC, South Melbourne Market and the beach within easy reach, with the city-bound light rail affording a smooth CBD commute.
A wide arched hallway introduces soaring ceilings and rich period detail, revealing two generously proportioned bedrooms with original fireplaces, including the main, which enjoys semi-ensuite access to a skylit garden-side bathroom. Tasmanian oak floors and abundant glass define the expansive (5.8m wide) living and dining zone to the rear, flowing effortlessly beneath a high, raked ceiling with two architectural skylights. A generous granite-topped kitchen with stainless steel appliances oversees it all, whilst French doors extend to an entirely private decked garden and leafy backdrop, offering the potential for parking via a right of way.
Excellent storage, including attic space, split system heating/AC, ducted heating throughout and a European laundry, further enhance the liveability, delivering rare amenity in a location prized for its proximity to everything from Albert Park Lake to the city's edge. Within a short walk to cafes, transport and leading schools, this Emerald Hill charmer is quietly removed from the action but deeply connected to the lifestyle that defines it.
