THE DEAL
In a position that simply can’t be beaten directly opposite Royal Park, this comprehensively transformed, one-of-a-kind Victorian terrace pairs the functional ease of the cutting-edge with the tasteful extravagance of boom-style origins.
A picture of period elegance courtesy of its wrought-iron fence and lacework, tessellated-tile porch, and era-typical veranda overlooking parkland, the remarkable home is a haven of class and refinement where inside feels completely quiet, private, and distinct from the outside world. Gas-converted marble fireplaces, towering, intricate ceilings, Baltic Pine floors, and a corbel arch are sure to evoke a feeling of substance and grandeur, with a broad hallway winding to introduce a park-viewing front lounge/bedroom and central dining room/bedroom en route to the plan’s point of focus.
Bi-fold glass and a covered pool/spa running the length of a considerable entertainer’s suite, spaces combine to prove utterly unrivalled in a hospitality setting, with any number of occasions capably served by a first-class kitchen with stone benches, extensive timber-veneer cabinetry, induction and gas cooktops, and Miele appliances in a fully integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher, three ovens with warming drawers, a large wine fridge, and built-in espresso machine. A barbecue deck optimises northern orientation, brilliant for blue-sky afternoons surrounded by friends and family.
Adaptable to any and all needs, a wonderfully bright second storey sees a magnificent master with its own gas fire, dressing room, and lavish ensuite joined by a sumptuous central bathroom, fourth bedroom, and versatile retreat/fifth bedroom stepping onto a scenic southern veranda. With no stone unturned, no expense spared, and nothing to do but move in and live luxuriously for years to come, highlights include Cbus lighting, Elan automation, comprehensive heating and cooling, garden irrigation, attic storage, an alarm, pool heating, heated towel rails to all bathrooms, and a huge wine cellar.
An opportunity like no other, it’s placed perfectly for a quick tram or bike ride to Parkville hospitals, leading universities, and the city centre, a Sunday picnic or sunset stroll through the pristine expanses of Royal and Princes Parks, a night indulging in Sydney Road’s famed cuisine and nightlife, and every shopping need imaginable at Barkly Square.
