This double storey Victorian terrace, circa 1870, has a way of making you smile the moment you arrive. All heritage charm and period romance at first glance, it then surprises with a clever, modern evolution that feels fresh, joyful and full of personality. Meticulously reimagined under architect supervision, the award-winning extension received the City of Yarra Innovation in Sustainable Building Design accolade and has been featured in design magazines, celebrating a renovation where sustainability and style work hand in hand. It is a home that honours its past while embracing the way we love to live today. Step inside and the sense of light and space is immediate. Lofty ceilings and polished timber floors bring warmth and character, while the traditional side hallway leads to a front bedroom with its original fireplace and built-in shelving. A central living room and beautifully finished bathroom sit beyond, before the home opens to a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area at the rear. Framed by a wall of glass bi fold doors, it connects seamlessly to the garden and invites easy indooroutdoor living.Upstairs, the impressive main bedroom retreat enjoys leafy street views, complete with a dedicated area with built in robes and its own bathroom, creating a peaceful zone of its own.Outside, the surprisingly spacious garden has been thoughtfully landscaped for both entertaining and quiet retreat. It flows to a separate studio and remote garage with rear lane access, which occasionally doubles as a place for neighbours to gather.Other features include solar panels, solar hot water, split system heating and cooling, custom built storage throughout, double glazing, 2000 litre water tank, security cameras, and more.Walk to Edinburgh Gardens, Village cafes and shops, schools and a choice of trams.
