69 Alfred Crescent

Fitzroy North VIC 3068

The magnificent Edinburgh Gardens with the city skyline as a backdrop stand before this ornate balcony terrace commanding stunning views in a prestigious dress-circle location. Showcasing an opulent heritage façade at one of inner-Melbourne's most sought-after addresses, this Italianate Victorian residence is a standout directly overlooking the Edinburgh Gardens’ 24-hectares of elegant city-edge parkland. A place on Alfred Crescent is treasured by locals and this exclusive opportunity to secure a double-storey terrace brimming with period refinement and future possibilities is indeed a rarity offering absolute comfort for now and potential for luxurious enhancement when ready. An exquisite period interior with soaring decorative ceilings and Baltic pine floorboards is launched by a grand arched hallway leading to a sumptuous sitting room where a marble fireplace offers winter warmth and a Corinthian columned-bay window frames a picturesque parkland view. Further is a ground-floor bedroom or study with built-in cabinetry and a fireplace that extends to a bathroom with laundry facilities and toilet, before a granite-topped kitchen with Bosch/Blanco appliances and a spacious family living and dining room with a sweeping bank of arched windows overlooking a leafy rear garden featuring a pergola-shaded entertainment terrace and a remote-control carport. Upstairs, a stately fire-side main bedroom spills onto to a wide balcony that captures uninterrupted views across the gardens to the city skyline, while a family bathroom features a clawfoot bath, and 2 additional bedrooms - both with built-in robes - enjoy tranquil elevated vistas. Also including hydronic heating, split-system air-conditioner and security alarm. With a larger than expected rear garden, the adjoining neighbouring property in Rowe Street is also on the market, offering the possibility to secure the two and create an expansive two-property combination. This marvellous park-side home presents a once in a generation opening in an unrivalled location within a short stroll to Fitzroy North Village cafes and shops, Queens Parade shops, Brunswick Street trams to the city, Rushall train station and schools.
