Meticulously renovated in timeless contemporary style

This property is one of a kind. Exceptionally renovated to reflect the best of its modernist heritage and contemporary design, it is distinguished by abundant light, subtle textured finishes and state-of-the-art appointments. Exuding simplicity and transparency yet veiled in privacy; the home offers seamless indoor and outdoor living with a sunny secure courtyard garden, off-street parking, spacious living room, kitchen and dining zone opening onto a large entertaining deck with built-in bench seat. The two genuinely large upper-level bedrooms (custom BIRs, one with mezzanine) are complemented by a study with treetop outlook and a central, sleek bathroom of uncompromised quality. With a second entrance and storage space from Melrose Lane, this energy-efficient home features LVI thermosoft heating, instantaneous hot water, Euro-laundry, ceiling fans, ventilating skylight and double-glazing. Thoughtfully designed and exquisitely executed, the bespoke interiors and joinery by Nil-Zero deliver spaces that surprise and delight. From the custom Australian Stringy-bark kitchen featuring push-to-open doors and drawers, hand cast concrete bench tops, smoked glass splash-back and Renzo Piano Smeg appliances; to the integrated projector screen, gallery hanging system and an abundance of built-in shelving and storage. These spaces are beautiful, clever and functional. Close to Royal Park, transport and shops, its proximity to CBD and University High School zoning further the appeal of this premium inner city residence. Nelson Alexander Pty Ltd

Owners Notes

What we love about this home:
This house is a pleasure to live in. We love the extraordinary functionality of every space, the details, textures, the light and connectivity to the outdoors. The front garden is your own little private sanctuary with the mature fruiting lime tree producing more limes than we can drink G&Ts. We love that the whole ground level can be used to entertain. The kitchen and dining area is such a great space to congregate around the big table and the kitchen, while beautiful, it is also so, so functional. The deck completes the space, and enables you to spill out of the kitchen and dining area into the outdoors. We’ll miss: the storage – this place has so much storage and it makes life so much easier and tidier!; working from the home office overlooking the garden; the bathroom – I never thought I could love a bathroom like I do this one; waking in the treetops; and the sense of fun in the second bedroom. We called this house our mini-mansion – it delivers a standard of living well beyond its size – and is an absolute joy to call home.

What we love about this suburb:
After previously living in Fitzroy, we loved this part of North Melbourne. The living here is easy. Wonderfully quiet and leafy, yet still providing the inner-city lifestyle we were used to with proximity to not only cafes, restaurants and the CBD, but hospitals, schools, North Melbourne pool, Woolworths around the corner and VIC Market nearby. But the real unexpected stand out for us was Royal Park – we love the native grasslands and bush land. It really is a wonderful spot to live!

Why we are selling:
We renovated this home with the view that we’d never have to leave, but life takes you in unexpected directions and we are embarking on a tree-change adventure!

Vendor Review

Best in the Biz    

Janine Ballantyne is not your average real estate agent; she is wonderfully personable, genuine, honest and trustworthy. We found her to be an excellent communicator, dedicated and hard working. Her infectious enthusiasm for our property was an asset and a catalyst for a great result. She was an absolute delight to work with! Further more, her auctioneer and associate Tom Roberts proved exceptional on the day of auction - coaxing buyers with professionalism and humour, he created a competitive atmosphere and delivered the high result we were seeking. Thank you Nelson Alexander - we are very happy!
