229 Dryburgh Street, North Melbourne VIC 3051

One of the area’s most wonderfully unique homes, this single-front Victorian (c1863) combines period charm and extended versatility (by architect Nicholas Murray) to deliver an inner-city lifestyle that’s truly one of a kind.

The distinctive facade makes way for a light and bright interior comprising three bedrooms (two with built-in robes) all serviced by a stylish bathroom with marble-top vanity and fully-tiled shower.

Adding to the appeal is a versatile living room and central family/dining area adjoined by a well-appointed kitchen complete with Miele oven, AEG integrated dishwasher and centrepiece Indian marble-top island bench.

Other stand-outs include split-system heating/cooling for year-round comfort, along with recycled solid hardwood jarrah floors, mahogany staircase, concealed laundry facilities and large attic storage via retractable ladder.

Dual outdoor zones complement the impressive interior including a wide decked balcony (from the upstairs bedroom) and delightful backyard sanctuary that leads directly from the lounge, with extensive paving, perimeter gardens and high walls for exceptional privacy, plus direct access (via ROW) to Munster Terrace.

Tram stop around the corner along with the new Arden Station, it’s also close to local parks, popular schools (Uni HS zone), Errol Street cafes and gourmet grocers, as well as easy access to Queen Victoria Market and Parkville’s hospital/university precincts.
