Superbly redesigned by Erdely Hopkins Architects to maximise light and to create well-separated living and sleeping zones, this elegant balcony terrace offers exceptional space for family living. Set behind a manicured garden, with a right-of-way to two sides and decorative brick and iron lacework, the residence has strong street appeal. Entry is to a wide arched hallway floored in gleaming Baltic pine, from which open a gracious living room and a well-proportioned bedroom with porcelain tiled ensuite; both rooms have elaborate plaster work and open fireplaces with timber overmantels. Past a bank of understair storage, the hallway opens through an opaque glass door into a splendid kitchen and dining room which runs the full width of the house. The kitchen, featuring a breakfast bar, stone benches, premium appliances and loads of storage, is designed for large scale entertaining, and overlooks a wide dining zone which flows seamlessly to a wide timber deck and BBQ area, fitted with mains gas. The delightful lawned garden has potential car access from the right-of-way to the rear. Also on the lower level are a full-sized laundry and adjacent tiled powder room. To the front of the upper level are the vast balcony bedroom and a further double bedroom. Set to the rear is a second handsome living room, leading to a full-size tiled bathroom with dual basins, and a charming study with open fireplace and screened views over North Carlton. With fine period detail, this stunning residence features hydronic heating, split-system air conditioning, video security, alarm and sound systems, generous custom-built storage throughout, and off street parking if desired. The address -- close to Rathdowne and Nicholson Villages, transport, schools and kindergartens speaks for itself!.,
