16 Canterbury Road

Albert Park VIC 3206

Commanding an extraordinary 10m* frontage to both Canterbury Road and Young Street, York House is a freestanding Victorian landmark of unmistakable presence, held by the same family since 1941. Set opposite the green expanse of Albert Park Lake and within steps of the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre, its iconic Hawthorn brick faade, magnificent proportions and dual street access are complemented by secure garaging for two and a position among the suburbs most prestigious addresses.

Tessellated tiles extend from the iron-lace entry into a grand entrance foyer, where a sweeping arch emphasises the scale of the ceilings. The gracious lounge and elegant formal dining rooms both feature marble fireplaces, showcasing the grandeur of the era, and continue through to a sunlit farmhouse kitchen that connects to relaxed living and dining zones, enriched by pressed-tin detailing and broad west-facing windows that draw in afternoon light and garden outlooks. Two separate upper-level wings house four bedrooms and flexible additional spaces, including a home office, offering the potential to adapt as your needs grow. The enormous main bedroom, complete with an open fireplace, extends to a park-facing balcony and is complemented by a full wall of built-in robes, whilst below it all, a unique bluestone-clad basement guest bedroom with natural light and an adjoining storeroom adds further flexibility for accommodation, working from home, or future adaptation.
