A lush, green, entertainment oasis creates an idyllic north-facing backdrop to the architect-enhanced brilliance of this beautiful double-fronted, three bedroom Victorian residence. A sense of spacious, light-filled seclusion over two compelling levels surrounds this sustainably renovated, inner-city sanctuary created by architect Rory Hyde (Melbourne School of Design, Design Advocate for the Mayor of London) thats located near the Yarra River, walking trails, and the Convent Arts Precinct. An attractive, block-fronted faade transitions into a captivating domain where Spotted Gum flooring, exposed brick walls, thorough insulation, and light-capturing windows bring warmth, richness, and a relaxed ambiance to an exceptionally easy and exciting lifestyle. A central hallway beyond two sizeable bedrooms (BIRs, plantation shutters) reveals flowing dining and living areas where tall sliding doors open directly to a leafy courtyard garden with an entertainment deck (reclaimed Flinders Lane warehouse timber) and vine-covered Ironbark crank wall. A wonderful kitchen (stainless steel appliances, recycled Oregon benchtop) and upstairs third bedroom overlooks the garden through tuckshop-style windows, while theres also a bright modern bathroom, European laundry plus split-system air-conditioning, and ROW to Park Street. A sublime indoor-outdoor setting at a coveted Abbotsford address, this unique city-edge retreat offers outstanding convenience to cafs, restaurants, shops, and train stations with effortless access to the CBD and freeway.
