373 Howe Parade, Port Melbourne VIC 3207

This architect's own home has undergone a breathtaking designer transformation, creating as expected an expansive two-storey family home graced with the finest quality finishes, chic contemporary interiors and superb gardens. This classic bank house is complemented by a modern rear facade, which is underpinned with soaring light-loving windows on both levels. Paces to the park and the beach, the north-facing home offers a generous floor plan and easy indoor-outdoor living with an inviting sitting room with fireplace flowing effortlessly past the dining room to the family room and in turn to a deck that overlooks the lush green lawns. The kitchen is sleek, streamlined and equipped with a handy breakfast bar for more casual meal times. A powder room and laundry complete the lower-level layout. Upstairs are a fitted study, 4 bedrooms and 2 modern bathrooms (including main ensuite). High-quality amenities include three split-system air conditioners, hydronic heating throughout, two refurbished fireplaces with Jetmaster insert, gas mains BBQ, laundry chute and extensive storage including a large dust-sealed attic with fold-down ladder. This luxurious entertainer is also within easy access of Bay Street's shops & dining-out venues.
