48 Molesworth Street, North Melbourne VIC 3051

Beyond the veil of this pretty Victorian façade exists a dazzling display of architectural design, blending enduring period character with bespoke modernity. Welcomed by 11-foot ceilings and Baltic floors, the home transitions from period charm to modern indoor-outdoor living, featuring raw ceiling rafters and bright skylights to emphasise light and space.

Framed by a soaring 5-metre raked ceiling and a heated polished concrete floor, the room is a voluminous space to relax and dine with family and friends amid natural light and garden views. The kitchen gathers guests around a central island, easily catering with Miele appliances and abundant two-pack cabinetry, while dressed in Stone Italiana benches and a bright glass splashback reminiscent of the home’s original wall colour.

A sprawling patio promotes alfresco dining under a shower of northern sun, integrating with a stunning garden setting dotted with tranquil fishponds and delicious vegetable gardens. At the back of the block, a secure carpark is accessed via Youngs Lane, complemented by two residential parking permits (subject to council approval).

Providing two lavishly sized robed bedrooms in Victorian style, plus a spacious mezzanine bedroom or home office, the home is finished with a sparkling, fully tiled bathroom, a European laundry, and plenty of storage.

A tranquil retreat in effervescent city-fringe surrounds, the home is situated within footsteps of Errol Street’s eclectic eateries, shopping, and city-bound trams, Royal Park recreation, prestigious universities and hospitals, and the Queen Victoria market, while zoned for the sought-after University High School.
