179 Park Street, South Melbourne VIC 3205

THE DEAL
In one of the inner city’s most beloved pockets, this endlessly versatile Victorian embraces its heritage, promotes comfort of the highest calibre, and celebrates the leafy vibrancy only South Melbourne can offer.

Quick to captivate with its broader-than-usual stance for a terrace of its era, the landmark’s two distinct entries open up an array of potential uses. Two fully renovated storeys can easily be shut off from one-another to act as their own residences, just as ideal for multi-generational living as they are for business pursuits, long-term or short-stay leasing, or simply enjoying the building in its entirety as the perfect family home.

As functional and flexible as it is grand and graceful, the abode’s lower-level master with its own elegant ensuite, wealth of robe space, and window-side study area is complemented by stand-out accommodation above in three large bedrooms and a luxe central bathroom. A combined upper kitchen/meals/lounge area spills onto a northern verandah wonderful for an evening cocktail soaking in the South Melbourne verve, while below, magnificent main areas make hospitality a breeze. Steel-frame glass doors stage floral outlooks, attract all-day sun, and open to streamline indoor-outdoor flow, with entwined living, dining, and backyard settings capably served by a gourmet kitchen with first-class fixtures.

Emboldened by Mixed Use zoning (MUZ) to further broaden capabilities, other highlights include chic black and brushed-bronze, floor-to-ceiling tiles in both bathrooms, stone benchtops, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, engineered oak floors, two
laundries, profuse storage, Art Deco-style light fittings, and ornate details furthering period appeal.

No more than seconds to the world-class coffee, diverse cuisine, boutique retail, and thriving nightlife of a true Melbourne icon in Clarendon Street, it’s mere footsteps to various trams, South Melbourne Market, MSAC, Albert Park Lake’s leisure trail and Grand Prix circuit, lively Bridport Street, Southbank’s fine dining, and the bustling CBD beyond.

SEALS THE DEAL
Unlike anything South Melbourne has seen for some time, a deep block wraps around to meet Palmer Street, offering secure, gated parking for at least four cars.
