26 Dinsdale Street

Albert Park VIC 3206

Captivating with its wisteria-draped double-fronted facade and wild garden beauty, Carmena c1900 delivers the street appeal, interior wow-factor and lifestyle draw that most envy. Positioned within metres of Victoria Avenue and the bay, its delightful, sun-drenched renovation respects period originality, while opening the rear to sky and sun with vaulted ceilings, luxe materials and a layout that carries through to a private brick-paved courtyard.

From the slate roof and stained glass to Baltic pine underfoot, theres an undeniable charm once inside. Set over a single level, a traditional arched central hall advances past four bedrooms, each with an open fireplace, including three with built-in robes. The fourth adjoins a light-court and aligns with the needs of an additional sitting room, whilst two luxurious bathrooms feature premium fit-outs befitting modern-day trends, with real terrazzo and natural stone finishes.

Fire-side living and dining areas sit beneath the incredible vaulted ceilings, with clerestory windows drawing daylight across Jade marble surfaces, exposed brick and bronze hardware. The kitchen pairs a Smeg 900mm freestanding gas stove with a semi-integrated Fisher & Paykel fridge/freezer and an integrated Bosch dishwasher, supporting entertainment needs with French doors extending to two courtyards, each embraced in exquisite cottage gardens.
