East Melbourne VIC 3002

Brought back to life by award winning architect Stephen Akehurst, the superb floorplan highlights the thoughtfully considered spaces from the intimacy of a sitting room for quiet conversation with guests to the vast open plan north-facing living and dining room which seamlessly interacts with the sublime outdoor area. Spend long summer nights outdoors beneath the loggia with a gas fireplace in the private Cardosa tiled northern courtyard and you will feel a world away from this inner-city location. A study with four work stations is positioned to still engage with the living area; while a children's play room and extensive storage acknowledges the needs of a family. The kitchen is a reflection of the home's unerring quality and grand proportions and combines the extensive use of Carrarra marble with a central island bench, a luxurious Lacanche freestanding stove, food preparation area and soft closing drawers.
Four impressive bedrooms are beautifully decorated and spread across the two upper levels. Double doors create a sense of arrival to the palatial main bedroom with triple French doors to the majestic balcony, a gas fireplace set within marble surrounds, dressing room and sublime marble en suite. A second bedroom frames a birdseye view of the MCG; while the third bedroom has an en suite. The main bathroom is a sophisticated sanctuary with a freestanding bath. Across the courtyard is separate au pair/ guest accommodation, garaging for two cars, a large cellar and store room.
The very best appointments include zoned central heating and air conditioning complemented by gas fireplaces, abundance of storage, alarm system and engineered French Oak wide flooring. The home is ensconced within one of Melbourne's most genteel streetscapes with the green expanses of Fitzroy Gardens at the end of the street and walking distance to the MCG, restaurants, cafes and just a short tram ride to the CBD and Melbourne's art and theatre precinct.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience an exquisite family home steeped in Melbourne's history.
