Commanding spectacular views of the city skyline, MCG and AAMI Stadium from its prized location within the exclusive Botanic Gardens precinct, this magnificent balconied Victorian residence is beautifully nestled within a glorious north-facing private garden oasis.
Defined by high ceilings, bay windows and grand proportions, every inviting room in the house is bathed in northern light. Behind a walled garden, the broad tessellated verandah introduces the majestic arched entrance hall, gracious sitting room with a marble gas fireplace and the elegant formal dining room. Timber floors flow through the expansive open-plan living and dining domain featuring a roaring open fire and sleek gourmet kitchen appointed with marble benches. Bi-fold doors allow a seamless transition out to a large north-facing entertaining terrace. Beneath an oversized remote sun-awning, it's an idyllic venue for al fresco dining while overlooking the picturesque leafy garden and fountain. With its own separate entrance, a versatile downstairs fourth bedroom/retreat with an adjacent bathroom is ideal for guests. Upstairs, the opulent main bedroom with a walk in robe, marble ensuite and north-facing balcony is accompanied by a second double bedroom with gas fire, a marble bathroom and a generously proportioned 3rd bedroom or living room with marble gas fire and a full width balcony. Every room upstairs enjoys the wonderful city and MCG views.
In a location highly sought after for its close proximity to the Royal Botanic Gardens, the Tan, Domain and Toorak Road restaurants and boutiques, trams, Anzac and South Yarra station, prestigious schools and the Yarra River, it includes hydronic heating, air-conditioning, laundry, irrigation, ample storage, wine cellar and double garage accessed from Vinebank Lane.
