Occupying a sun-drenched 405 sqm (approx) allotment with a prized northeast rear orientation and two street frontages, this extra wide freestanding Edwardian residence enjoys a commanding presence, with brilliant access to a double remote garage via Erskine Street. Set over an enlightened single-level floor plan, it offers incredible modernity and flexibility with two spacious living zones, one of which can be easily adapted as a third bedroom, if required, paired with period elegance and leafy outdoor space in a tightly held Albert Park setting.
A deep garden setback introduces a striking tuck-pointed façade, set behind classic landscaping and a tessellated verandah that speaks to the home's origins. High ceilings and original Baltic pine floorboards sweep through the wide entrance hall and into two generous bedrooms, each enhanced by ornate open fireplaces and built-in robes. A spacious central living room with a working fireplace affords versatility as a third bedroom, whilst the contemporary rear unfolds to brilliant natural light and free-flowing living and meals spaces, hosted by a kitchen featuring a Savoir Faire 900mm cooker and Fisher & Paykel dishwasher. Skylights overhead and glass French doors draw in the sun, opening to the paved, private courtyard enriched by low-maintenance bluestone-edge gardens and a retractable awning.
A dedicated study adjoins a powder room, with a full laundry, a large family bathroom, hydronic heating, split system air conditioning, and integrated indoor-outdoor sound speakers adding to the appeal. The powered double garage features a workbench and extensive storage, with the rare addition of an expansive 4m x 3.3m (approx) walk-down basement cellar. Brimming with charm and long-term potential, incredible renovation and extension possibilities (STCA), it is enviably located within walking distance of the beach, Armstrong Street Village, Middle Park Primary School, MSAC, and the city-bound light rail, and is zoned for Albert Park College.
