Layered with brilliant design elements creating contrast and cohesion, Cerise Residence is a multi-storey terrace of compelling space and light in an elegant tree-lined setting. Nestled in an attractive heritage row near Lygon Street and Melbourne University, the classic profile of this 4 bedroom family residence c1861 is a parting of tradition and a threshold to new form and functionality designed by Fiona Dunin of award-winning FMD Architects. As featured in numerous publications, the transformation runs consistently throughout subtly enhancing period rooms with high ceiling roses while redefining others to fit the various changing phases and stages of busy city-edge family life. Hydronic heating, air-conditioning, goat hair carpet and bamboo flooring complement the spacious and versatile layout starting with a ground-floor sitting room off the arched hallway before a lounge room, workstation/office, bathroom, Euro laundry, smart skylit kitchen with Miele induction/Gaggenau/Smeg appliances and a light-filled family/dining area with sliding double-glazed doors. Outside is a deep, leafy garden courtyard with alfresco terrace and secure parking via wide Tibbits Lane, while upstairs are 4 distinctive bedrooms (huge treetops main; BIRs), a fitted study area, bathroom with Japanese-inspired bath/shower and full-width attic storage. Also offers rainwater tanks and a garden shed. Innovative, artistic and every bit dramatic and fun, this warm and inviting residence is a unique family opportunity in the University High School zone near cafs, restaurants, shops, cinema, trams, Princes Park, Queen Victoria Market and the city. Two Parking Permits available.
