Distinguished Victorian Italianate with its striking unique Hawthorn Brick façade and arched windows, this double-fronted Victorian offers a grand street presence with boom-era flourishes and terracotta roof. It is shaped by the dialogue between history and modern features.
The interiors, meticulously restored to its original beauty and set within formal landscaped gardens, it delivers a light-filled single-level domain of exceptional proportions, inviting easy living and entertaining over a 276sqm* north-eastern allotment.
Elegant checkerboard Italian marble path form the perfect introduction to the beautifully presented interior, where 12ft-high ceilings, a wide arched entrance and oak floors, flow throughout the central hallway. Natural light hits at every turn, gently illuminating the formal sitting room and adjacent main suite through full-height sheers, the main with a custom-fitted walk-in robe and a recently completed, luxurious dual-vanity en-suite.
Two additional robed bedrooms, one with robes, and a central sky-lit bathroom continue the layout to the rear, where 4m-high ceilings sweep across the open-plan living and dining domains, allowing effortless transitions between indoors and out. A gas fire adds ambience, whilst the sleek kitchen hosts with ease, appointed with stone benches and European appliances, including a Miele dishwasher and Bertazzoni stove and Falcon Rangehood. Wall-to-wall glass slides back for al-fresco moments within the rear courtyard, backdropped by low-maintenance greenery and a tranquil water feature, with absolute privacy from every angle.
Complete with ducted heating/cooling, split-system air conditioning, large storage attic, cellar, irrigation system, and European laundry, the home is within walking distance of Middle Park and Albert Park Village cafés, the 96 light rail, MSAC, and the No. 12 tram. The option to acquire the adjoining residence at 40 Hambleton Street, with ROW access, extends the potential into one substantial landholding (STCA).
