9 Abbotsford Street

Abbotsford VIC 3067

Extra-wide frontage facing north on a quiet street by the Abbotsford Convent and Yarra River creates an exceptional introduction to this remarkable 3 bedroom corner residence. Revolving around a large, private courtyard garden bathing in sunshine, the original Hawthorn brick cottage c1892 has been superbly extended resulting in a spacious and seamless, indoor-outdoor sanctuary on the corner of Hunter Street combining period character, modern appointments and an abundance of natural light. Overlooking garden, an immaculate north-lit kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, shining timber benchtops and soft-close storage is central to an open-plan family dining room and an oversized modern bathroom including a frameless-glass walk-in shower and a laundry area. An elegant living room with an open fireplace and light-capturing glazing offers outstanding comfort and complements 3 distinctive bedrooms with 2 displaying the high ceilings and proportions of the era, and the main offering a smart powder room and a separate, versatile study space with built-in robes and a doorway back to the hall. Split-system air-conditioning and a gas wall heater maintain perfect comfort, while the property also includes a lock-up garage by Masons Lane. A genuinely rare opportunity in a historic city-edge pocket, this highly-attractive home is a single-level standout of surprising space where a family, downsizers and a range of buyers will love the living, cherish the garden and savour the lifestyle location.
