Showcasing period grandeur beyond its magnificent solid-brick Victorian facade, 'Waverley' c1890, holds a tightly held position opposite Albert Park Lake and the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre, with a second frontage via ROW permitting secure off-street parking and sunlit interior that broadens to capture uninterrupted city skyline views.
Interiors are replete with period beauty, with a wide, corbel-arched entry hall enriched by lime-washed Baltic pine floors, marble fireplaces, and towering ceilings. Grand formal sitting and dining rooms are each defined by large bay windows and marble open fireplaces, with central bi-fold doors affording separation or connection as required, while French doors extend the dining room to a side deck for outdoor use. To the rear, modern-day needs expand casual family zones to the sun-drenched decked garden, supported by a stone-finished kitchen with stainless steel appliances and generous preparation space, allowing the layout to shift easily between areas for al-fresco dining.
Upper-level accommodation is arranged across multiple zones, led by a main bedroom of substantial size with balcony access, walk-in robe and ensuite, and enhanced by double glazing for added peace and thermal efficiency. Additional bedrooms retain fireplaces and built-in robes, including one with its own balcony, while a flexible top-floor living area or fourth bedroom incorporates integrated storage and a wet bar, positioned to take in sweeping city skyline views with glimpses of the bay to the south. Complete with hydronic heating, reverse-cycle air conditioning, an extensive underground cellar, alarm and camera security, and secure vehicle access via ROW, it delivers a peerless lifestyle amongst the area's finest, with Albert Park Village, the foreshore, trams and leading schools all within walking distance.
