30 Charles Street, Prahran VIC 3181

With irresistible street appeal and pretty heritage detail, this surprising residence has evolved over time from a small, double fronted Victorian home into an expansive five-bedroom plus a study family residence in one of Melbourne's most cosmopolitan lifestyle settings on the edge of Greville Street. Unique in its amenity and designed for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining, this tightly-held home genuinely accommodates a family through every phase of life. The original section houses a traditional sitting room with gas fireplace, three large fitted bedrooms (the main with walk-in robe and en suite), bright family bathroom with separate toilet and a study. 14ft ceilings in this part of the home are dwarfed by the extension with a family living and dining set beneath a towering two-storey ceiling with a sky-lit mezzanine retreat and well-equipped kitchen. A glassed walkway, concealing a modern laundry and 200-bottle cellar, leads through to a sun-drenched informal living room with bi-fold doors to a fabulous central covered entertaining deck, also accessible from the family room. Wrapped in greenery and shrouded in privacy, a heated six-seater spa, sauna and integrated barbecue add a resort style feel in the heart of Prahran.
A huge fourth bedroom with walk -in robe and a stylish third bathroom are privately concealed at the rear of the house perfect for guests or teenagers. Comprehensive appointments include rare off-street parking for two cars, split system air conditioning, ducted heating, wiring for surround sound, parquetry flooring, 6,400 litres of water storage, workshop, external store room and automatic sprinkler system. Melbourne's magnificent amenity is all within walking distance from Greville and Chapel Street's cafes and restaurants, boutique shops, Prahran Market, Fawkner Park, major hospitals and private schools with nearby Prahran Station and trams offering quick and accessible commuting options.
