A RESIDENCE OF EXCEPTIONAL SCALE AND DISTINCTION

This grand three-level balcony terrace, built in 1856 and enhanced over several generations, has a true Windsor pedigree! Its most recent owners, hoteliers Garry Gibson, former General Manager of the Windsor Hotel, and his wife Sharyn have completed a masterly restoration of what is undoubtedly one of inner Melbourne's finest properties. Opulent chandeliers, rich cornice work, museum-quality marble and slate mantelled fireplaces and other Boom-period signatures make this a very special city-edge residence, with a flexible 4/5 bedroom floor plan and a captivating blend of formal and intimate living spaces.

A wide hallway framing an elegant staircase opens to handsome formal reception rooms linked by folding panelled doors. In the centre of the ground floor is a light-filled dining room adjoining a small sitting room - both look out into a long paved courtyard and off-street parking area. To the rear are a well-equipped kitchen with gleaming white cabinetry, and a neat tiled bathroom. At the front of the first floor a stunning drawing room opens through ceiling-high windows to the wide balcony overlooking Brunswick Street. Set behind it, a further bedroom looks down over the courtyard. Also on this level is a large bedroom suite, comprising sunny double bedroom, sitting room, office and bathroom. The third-floor main bedroom, entered from an anteroom, is superbly proportioned, with its own bathroom and a large dressing room.

Contemporary amenities include gas log fires fitted to the many fine open fireplaces, panel heating, an alarm system and double glazing. This gracious residence is an oasis of tranquillity within walking distance of the city, cafes, major hospitals and the Carlton Gardens..,
