A celebration of Melbourne's distinguished Victorian era, this elegant c1900 double storey residence is proudly perched on a prominent corner block with city views in the heart of Parkville's Golden Triangle. A rare offering with an iconic return balcony, desirable north-west aspect and generous comfortable accommodation with sumptuous period detail, it presents an extraordinary opportunity to enhance and add further value to its current strong credentials and create a coveted inner-north lifestyle, footsteps from Royal Park.
Occupying two street frontages on Bayles Street and Fitzgibbon Street, the striking façade features bluestone foundations and a tessellated wraparound verandah with stunning latticework. Enhanced by high ceilings, polished floorboards & natural light, the flexible floorplan boasts two huge downstairs bedrooms with built-in robes, a bright third bedroom/study and an open plan living/dining with an adjacent kitchen that has stainless steel gas fixtures.
Here, French doors lead to a private leafy north facing courtyard, separate bathroom and single garage/workshop with rear access via Jageurs Lane. The light filled first floor also has two enormous bedrooms with built-in robes (one with access to the glorious wraparound balcony enjoying city skyline views) and two well-kept bathrooms.
In addition, this home is graced with hallway arches, ornate rosettes, four decorative fireplaces, sash windows and under-stair storage. It is placed walking distance to The University of Melbourne, Lygon Street restaurants, vibrant Errol Street, CBD trams, the future Parkville station and University High School (zoned).
