THE DEAL
For more than 130 years, this has been one of Middle Park's most distinctive facades. Dating to c1889, the Victorian Italianate residence pairs carefully preserved heritage with interiors entirely reimagined across two generous levels. Beyond the tuck-pointed brickwork and tessellated verandah, the formal living and dining rooms showcase soaring ceilings, ornate cornices and marble fireplaces, joined by a restored cedar dividing door on its original pulley system. A clerestory-lit gallery then leads to a light-filled open-plan living and family domain, where bi-fold doors open to a private decked courtyard beneath a motorised awning, with rear laneway access.
The kitchen is designed for effortless entertaining, appointed with stainless steel benchtops, Bosch appliances, an Asko induction cooktop with gas wok burner and a dedicated wine fridge. Upstairs, the north-facing main suite opens to the iron-lace balcony and features a marble fireplace, built-in robes and a skylit ensuite with freestanding bath, alongside a sunlit second bedroom and a rear bedroom with built-in robes, integrated desk and adjoining bathroom. Hydronic heating, split-system air conditioning, a working open fireplace, a laundry with powder room, a fully lined attic and generous storage throughout ensure the home is ready for its next chapter.
SEAL THE DEAL
The home sits on one of Middle Park's most tightly held tree-lined streets, in one of Melbourne's most exclusive pockets, moments from Armstrong Street Village, the beach and Albert Park Lake, with trams, Middle Park Primary School and Albert Park College all close at hand. Homes of this calibre change hands once in a generation.
