Landmark c1888 Victorian balcony terrace in a prestigious northside position
Magnificently elevated behind lush gardens with a Japanese maple centrepiece, the statuesque facade flaunts a stunning tessellated verandah and intricate latticework. Beneath soaring 3.5m ceilings, the arched entrance flows into a glorious formal lounge with a marble fireplace, elaborate rose and deeply recessed cornices, plus a spacious home office (or bedroom) with a cast iron fireplace. At the home’s heart is an opulent formal dining room with a second marble fireplace and polished Baltic pine floors, which caters for lavish entertaining.
Further on, the immaculate modern kitchen has two Neff ovens, Gaggenau gas burners, a Miele dishwasher and an integrated fridge. Nestled at the back is a marvellous informal living and dining area, enjoying the west aspect via floor-to-ceiling windows, and a sparkling two-zoned bathroom. Sliding glass doors afford a seamless transition to the sun-soaked rear terrace and child-friendly garden, privately framed by manicured hedges, while a huge side terrace is perfectly suited to alfresco dining.
Upstairs accommodation encompasses an enormous master bedroom with a cast iron fireplace, vast built-in robes and access to the gracious balcony overlooking the iconic streetscape. In addition, there are three king sized bedrooms with built-in robes, and a generous bathroom with a bath and shower.
It features a separate laundry, ducted heating, split system heating/cooling, electric heating, under-stair storage, back-to-base security and fibre-optic NBN. Spanning the width of the block, the remote-control double garage has attic storage and excellent lane access. This extraordinary home is also conveniently placed strolling distance to Rathdowne Village, city-bound trams, the Capital City Trail, Lygon Street restaurants, Princes Park, Melbourne University and great schools.
