Breathtaking transformation by architect Nicholas Murray has brought modern precision and luxury to this block-fronted Victorian, enhanced by secure garaging via ROW within a prized village setting.
Its charismatic facade gives way to interiors of unexpected scale and light, where wide Mafi timber floors lead through a skylit hall to the first bedroom, complete with a marble gas fire and full-height built-in robes. Every surface and line speaks to detail and design intelligence, from a striking ground-floor bathroom wrapped in textured tiling, to an upper-level main bedroom retreat with a slatted timber ceiling, an indulgent dressing room, and a designer open en-suite with an enormous freestanding bath opening onto a private sun deck.
Expansive open-plan living and dining areas unfold across the rear, where a sublime Corian and Miele kitchen with integrated Liebherr refrigeration and bar fridge connects to a landscaped side garden. Generous in feel yet finely resolved, the adjoining living room centres on the ethanol fireplace, cantilevered over the space within the island, with automated louvred skylights overhead, drawing in natural light. Bi-fold doors dissolve the threshold to a limestone-paved courtyard of complete seclusion, its European character defined by exposed brick, tranquil greenery and a premium built-in BBQ. Bi-fold walls between the house and garage allow for an effortless indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining. A self-contained studio over the garage, complete with a marble desk, stylish en-suite, and balcony, provides adaptability for guests, a home office, or older children, offering remarkable independence.
Further appointments include hydronic heating, zoned RC/air-conditioning, motorised blinds, Euro-laundry with Miele washer & dryer, alarm, and video intercom, all within steps of the cafes and dining options of the village, the No. 1 tram, 96 light rail, MSAC, Albert Park Lake and with easy access to the bay and leading schools.
