THE DEAL
A staple of the inner-city landscape with origins in c1864, this completely revitalised, mid-Victorian terrace balances leafy calm and side-street seclusion with the day-and-night buzz of the CBD's top end.
Framed by flourishing trees and placed on a double-width street that's among West Melbourne's finest, a picture-perfect façade dates all the way back to the gold rush, tastefully contrasted by a modernised interior offering every imaginable comfort for a life of turn-key luxury. Swathes of terrazzo and marble, fluted glass windows and screens, and engineered oak floors headline a fit-out that's nothing short of first-class, while fireplaces and high, ornate ceilings pay homage to the home's rich history. Parted by an open-form staircase, living and dining zones complement a gourmet kitchen, with a brand-new 900mm Smeg cooker and Miele dishwasher capable of catering for any occasion. Accommodation proves ideal for professionals, downsizers, and young families alike, with two top-floor bedrooms and a chic main bathroom with twin basins joined by a lower bathroom/third bedroom pairing giving the option of one-level living.
Destined to impress with its space, adaptability, and calibre of appointment, highlights include reverse-cycle heating and cooling, ventilating louvres, an upstairs storeroom, staircase skylight, large, lock-up garage accessed via Milton Street, and zoning for revered University High School.
SEALS THE DEAL
A step removed from the bustle while footsteps to the heart of the action, the home is both a city base and suburban hideaway, metres from North Melbourne icons Errol and Victoria Streets, historic Queen Victoria Market, Flagstaff Gardens and Station, the free tram zone, leading universities, and the CBD's celebrated culinary, retail, afterhours, and arts scenes.
