One block back from the bay and transformed behind a solid-brick Edwardian façade, this bespoke four-bedroom, three-bath family home delivers an indulgent take on beachside living, where original beauty is enhanced by a breathtaking architectural upgrade. Shortlisted for the Master Builders Victoria Excellence in Housing Awards, the residence showcases an exceptional level of craftsmanship, design integrity and attention to detail.
Introduced by a leadlight foyer with herringbone oak floors and a dramatic skylight above, the layout opens with two generous front bedrooms, both fitted with custom robes and served by a luxurious bathroom with freestanding bath and light-well connection. The home then unfolds to an expansive open-plan living and dining domain, wrapped in natural light and flowing to a deeply private garden courtyard framed by birch trees and streamlined timber fencing.
Overhead, a long skylight runs the length of the living zone, washing the Venetian plaster fireplace wall in daylight and adding a quiet sense of drama to everyday living. The kitchen has been designed with entertaining in mind, featuring premium Siemens appliances, stone benchtops, an integrated bar with Vintec wine fridge, and a fully concealed scullery with an integrated fridge/freezer and secure side access.
Upstairs, two sky-lit en-suite bedrooms sit on either side of a flexible living room with a built-in home office, with the larger main bedroom standing apart with motorised blinds, extensive wall-to-wall robes, and a striking twin-shower en-suite. With dimmable and feature LED lighting, double-glazing, zoned ducted heating and cooling, custom-designed storage, water tank, and a full laundry, the home is as well resolved as it is stylish. Just moments from the beach, trams, MSAC and Armstrong Street village, and within easy reach of Middle Park Primary and leading schools, it offers an enviable lifestyle in one of the area's most tightly held pockets.
