On a commanding corner allotment of approximately 534sqm, this majestic Victorian residence stands as a celebration of architectural heritage elevated by contemporary refinement. Introduced by an established garden setting and an exquisitely preserved façade, the home makes an unforgettable first impression, its stately presence hinting at the grandeur that unfolds within.
Beyond the threshold, a procession of beautifully proportioned rooms reveals interiors of remarkable scale and distinction. Formal lounge and dining rooms evoke a sense of timeless sophistication, while an expansive open-plan living and meals domain forms the magnificent heart of the home, bathed in natural light and designed for both lavish entertaining and relaxed family living. The adjoining kitchen is appointed with granite benchtops, premium appliances and extensive cabinetry, thoughtfully designed to balance elegance with everyday functionality.
Accommodation is both substantial and refined, comprising four generous bedrooms - including a main suite with built-in robes - accompanied by two elegantly appointed bathrooms and a combined laundry/third bathroom. A distinguished library or optional fifth bedroom, a private home office with its own entrance, and an impressive lower-level theatre room further enhance the home's versatility, offering spaces of retreat, productivity and indulgence.
Modern comfort is seamlessly integrated through hydronic heating, split-system air conditioning, solar power and an energy-efficient heat-pump hot water service. Soaring ceilings, abundant storage and enduring finishes throughout underscore a sense of craftsmanship and permanence.
Bi-fold doors extend the principal living area to a glorious north-facing garden sanctuary, where expansive brick paving, raised vegetable beds and approximately 7,000 litres of water storage create a setting of beauty and sustainability. A substantial workshop/storeroom and remote-control tandem double garage with access to Darling Street provide secure and practical amenity.
Superbly positioned for an enviable lifestyle, the home is moments from tram routes 57 and 82, the boutiques and dining establishments of Union Road, esteemed local schools and picturesque riverside trails. Moonee Ponds Station and the district's vibrant retail precinct are also within effortless reach, completing a residence defined by grandeur, grace and exceptional inner-urban prestige.
