Secure a slice of North Melbourne's rich history with this grand double storey Victorian residence, standing proudly on the tree-lined corner of Dryburgh and Erskine Streets in the heart of Hotham Hill. Built in the late 1800s as a Methodist Parsonage and now a functional family home, it presents expansive light-filled accommodation, retained period splendour and spectacular CBD views. Located in the prized University High School zone, footsteps from Royal Park, it offers an unrivalled city-edge lifestyle with future scope to personalise.
Graced with intricate latticework and signature lancet windows, the landmark façade welcomes with soaring ceilings and freshly polished floorboards that connect the arched foyer to a spacious living area and nearby dining area, both overlooking the leafy streetscape. At the back is a large refurbished kitchen with gas cooking, a Bosch dishwasher and a breakfast bench. Also downstairs is a generous bedroom (or marvellous lounge), serviced by a neat bathroom that has a shower and separate w/c. Step outdoors to a private easycare garden and sun-soaked elevated terrace embracing the CBD outlook.
A hardwood staircase leads to three king-size bedrooms all with intimate CBD views (main has built-in robes) and a bright second bathroom that has a shower and a bath. The home's centrepiece is the magnificent front balcony, which provides a privileged vantage point to enjoy NYE fireworks across the city skyline, or simply unwind.
Extras features include hydronic heating, new carpet to the bedrooms, new bathroom flooring, gas hot water and an oversized single garage with remote-control access to Erskine Street. Additionally, this incredible property is placed metres from local shops, cafes and city trams, and just a short stroll to vibrant Errol Street village, Melbourne University, the hospital precinct and Arden Station.
