4 rooms house of 777m² in Albert Park

Evocative with its balconied Hawthorn Brick presence and c1891 heritage significance, this magnificent four-bedroom Victorian terrace, only a short walk from the beach, has been thoughtfully redefined for contemporary living while preserving the essence of its era. Formal gardens and intricate iron lacework lead to an interior rich in period beauty, where soaring 11ft ceilings, Baltic pine floors and generous proportions establish a naturally-bright, dual-level floorplan. Brilliant natural light enhances both ground-floor bedrooms, each with OFPs and one with in-built storage, continuing to the rear, revealing expansive living and dining areas that flow together for easy living and entertaining. French doors connect the dining room to the northern light-well patio, while high pocket ceilings with clerestory windows on all four sides infuse the living zone with sunlight. A sleek kitchen with quality Miele cooking appliances, stone benchtops and a dishwasher reflects a refined modern edge, leading out to the courtyard, which beautifully channels a European influence. Lined with established olive trees and an arbour that will soon provide shade and seasonal greenery, it offers a picturesque continuation of the interior, ideal for al-fresco dining with its natural serenity. Upstairs, two further bedrooms with built-in robes include the main with an OFP and north-east facing balcony that captures stunning city views, complemented by a deluxe French-inspired bathroom with a freestanding bath and natural stone flooring. Appointed with hydronic heating, split system heating/cooling, powder room, an underfloor cellar, extensive attic storage, shed, and a first-floor laundry, it is presented and placed for lifestyle excellence. Set between the beach and Albert Park Lake, it is just an easy stroll to Victoria Avenue and Bridport Street Village cafes, boutiques and restaurants, with trams close by and zoning for Middle Park Primary School and Albert Park College.
