But the best lies below. The basement turned home theatre is also a fully equipped, soundproof music and recording studio.

Many great Melbourne musicians and bands including Chocolate Starfish and members of Pseudo Echo have played and recorded in the studio.

This is a home that maximizes space and storage. Above the front rooms a massive attic contributes exceptional convenience. The rear of the property has its own small, highly secure under cover shed that is perfect for storage of bikes, tools, gardening equipment and other belongings.
From the beautiful Victorian facade and garden to the full-scale soundproof home theatre this house is the dream inner city home perfectly located in a quiet street close to everything that Albert Park and South Melbourne has to offer.
