An extra-wide and exquisitely-detailed faade directly opposite the Carlton Gardens embodies the elegance, grandeur and superb proportions of beautiful 'Broomfield' c1884. A testament to the prosperity of a marvellous era in Melbourne's rich history, this magnificent Victorian residence is ornate from the outset fusing refined heritage character and quality modern enhancement with an elevated rear entertainment deck and 2-car garaging via Bach Lane. 'Broomfield' immediately captures the imagination with its opulent profile behind courtyard garden revealing a seamless tessellated-tile transition from park-view veranda to grand arched hallway. Gracious formal sitting and dining rooms warmed by marble open fireplaces precede a spacious family zone at the rear featuring a stone-topped gourmet kitchen and meals area, large living room, a bathroom and a laundry. Accessed from dual interior staircases, upstairs accommodation continues a consistent theme of functionality and flexibility with 4 sizable bedrooms (built-in robes) and 2 further bathrooms where a glorious main bedroom leads to an ensuite and a park-facing balcony while a huge fourth bedroom offers extra living and study/office possibilities. Also offers heating, alarm, high ceilings, plantation shutters, polished floorboards, double garage and an east-facing deck for outstanding alfresco entertaining. 'Broomfield' is an unrivalled beauty in an eminent city-edge location within walking distance to fabulous backstreet coffee shops and a range of attractions including Carlton Gardens, Brunswick Street cafes and restaurants, vibrant Lygon Street, trams, Melbourne University, schools, Queen Victoria Market and the CBD.
