Sun-drenched and superbly positioned in an enviable parkside setting, this elegant c1880 solid-brick, balconied Victorian has been thoughtfully updated for contemporary family living, retaining its beautiful period detail while opening to private outdoor entertaining and sweeping city views.
Rich in period beauty, the tessellated entrance and iron-lace verandah open to a corbel-arched hallway, soaring ceilings and timber floors, with gracious formal sitting and dining rooms retaining their ornate fireplaces and grand proportions. Continuing to the rear, a sleek stone kitchen with a premium Falcon oven introduces a more casual family setting for relaxed living and entertaining, extending through the sky-lit meals area to the private courtyard, where established gardens and flourishing wisteria surround a stunning covered deck and lower terrace with a ROW pedestrian gate.
Capturing glittering city views beyond the trees, the generous balconied main bedroom is distinguished by an ornate fireplace and built-in robes. Two additional bedrooms with fitted storage and a central bathroom complete the upper level. Downstairs, a potential forth bedroom with a second bathroom, accessible via the large laundry and courtyard. With hydronic heating, split-system air-conditioning, ample storage, and garden irrigation, it offers immediate appeal, mere steps from the No. 12 tram, with Albert Park Lake, MSAC, the 96 light rail, and the beach nearby, plus the shops, cafés, and restaurants of Albert Park and Middle Park villages within an easy walk away.
