Meticulously transformed to a breathtaking standard by leading interior designer Sharon Colquhoun, this elegant solid-brick Victorian balcony terrace is an exceptional expression of contemporary design, with incredibly private and rare north-west garden surroundings and a second frontage to Smith Street, all within a premier village address.
Introduced by its striking façade, the interior reveals rich engineered timber floors that flow through the grand arched entrance hall to a generous main bedroom with an ornate fireplace, full-height built-in robes, and a beautiful ensuite. Stepping down to heated polished concrete floors, the dining room opens through bifold doors to an established lightwell, while a wall of custom oak cabinetry extends to the expansive open-plan living and kitchen domain. Italian marble adorns the island bench, accompanied by Miele appliances and integrated Liebherr refrigeration, while full-width bifold doors connect seamlessly to a covered al-fresco deck and an incredibly private and rear rear garden shrouded in mature greenery and all day sunlight.
A floating timber-and-steel staircase leads upstairs to a versatile living area with a built-in desk and Murphy bed, providing the flexibility of a potential fourth bedroom, alongside a robed bedroom and an impressive alternative main suite, allowing a choice of principal bedrooms across both levels. Opening to the tree-lined balcony with city glimpses, it features an ornate fireplace, full-height robes and semi-ensuite access to a substantial bathroom with aged brass tapware, terrazzo tiling and a freestanding bath.
Additional appointments include a powder room, skylit laundry, multi-zone reverse-cycle heating and cooling, alarm, a wealth of bespoke storage, video intercom and skylights throughout, all within steps of city-bound transport, Victoria Avenue shops, Bridport Street Village, leading schools and minutes from Albert Park Lake, the beach, MSAC and South Melbourne Market.
