Enjoying second frontage to Cruikshank Street at rear, this timeless Victorian delivers comfort backed by character, bringing sea-breeze serenity to city-fringe amenity in Port Melbourne's heart of lifestyle.
Serene, secure, and altogether sumptuous beyond a tall fence and front-garden magnolia, updated interiors strike the perfect balance between period and modern. High ceilings, architraves, Baltic pine floors, leadlight glass, and a hallway arch headline the array of details keeping heritage centre-stage, with new plush carpets, wall heaters, reverse-cycle heating/cooling in lounge/dining, ceiling fans, and a wealth of storage ideal accompaniments to a floor plan superb in its functionality.
Two large, robe-lined bedrooms and a smart bathroom/laundry complement a living/dining area bathing in northern sun, with extensive storage, gas cooking, and a garden outlook all enhancing a separate kitchen. Built-in bench seats, a fitted barbecue area, and thriving lemon tree all feature in a northwest-facing backyard awash with all-day sun, delightful for entertaining under blue skies, cocktails on a summer evening, an espresso as the sun rises, or afternoon lost in a novel.
Lined with additional storage, a secure, rear-accessed carport proves a rarity in Port Melbourne, while a prestige position means a car is so rarely necessary. Longstanding pubs, pristine parks, and the cafés, bars, restaurants, and boutiques of iconic Bay Street are all just metres away, as are the leisure trail and golden sands of Port Melbourne Beach, a short stroll to Albert Park Village restaurants and boutiques and the South Melbourne Market. The 1 Tram, Light Rail, and 236 Bus streamline market and CBD commutes, while Albert Park Lake and College (zoned), the Gasworks Arts Precinct, and MSAC sit close by.
