Behind its Victorian façade and intricate iron lacework, this distinctive Parkville residence unfolds in unexpected ways, moving from the gracious proportions of its original rooms to light-filled living spaces, established gardens and a remarkably private rear setting that belies its inner-city location.
Entering at lower-ground level, a generous front room overlooks Park Drive, with a fireplace and double doors opening directly to the front terrace. Offering the flexibility of a third bedroom or additional living space, it introduces the home's period character through high ceilings and original detailing.
The hallway leads to an open kitchen and dining area, where original floorboards meet a well-appointed kitchen fitted with modern appliances. Beyond, the home opens into a warm, light-filled living room, where slate floors, rich timber and expansive glazing create a strong connection to the north/west-facing garden.
Outside, established planting, stone paving and climbing vines create an unexpectedly secluded garden. At the rear, a substantial double garage with rear laneway access provides the rare advantage of secure off-street parking, while Ievers Reserve extends the leafy outlook beyond the rear boundary.
Upstairs, a double bedroom features built-in robes and opens directly onto a deep balcony overlooking the garden and reserve. Nearby, the family bathroom incorporates the laundry alongside a separate WC. At the front, the main bedroom reflects the elegance of the home's Victorian origins, with soaring ceilings, an ornate ceiling rose, extensive built-in storage and tall sash windows overlooking the full-length front balcony and the tree-lined streetscape of Park Drive.
Moments from Royal Park, Princes Park, the University of Melbourne, Parkville Station, Melbourne's renowned medical precinct, Queen Victoria Market, the cafés and restaurants of the inner north, and the CBD, this coveted Parkville address combines exceptional inner-city convenience with a remarkable sense of privacy.
