31 Chapman Street

North Melbourne VIC 3051

Enviably nestled in one of North Melbourne’s most admired treelined streets, this wide and spacious 3 bedroom Victorian delivers far more than its graceful façade suggests including a stunning separate studio plus a secure double garage that create an extraordinarily flexible and convenient opportunity just minutes from the city. Beyond a broad picket fence and extra-deep front garden blooming with iceberg roses and a weeping cherry, this outstanding terrace residence reveals a beautifully evolved arrangement of light-filled spaces where exposed brickwork, polished hardwood floors and a clever split-level design add to its exceptional warmth, comfort and character. An arched hallway with a high decorative ceiling and gallery track system introduces 2 large ground-floor bedrooms where one at the front includes extensive built-in robes, while the second overlooks a tranquil north-facing light court. Further is a peaceful central living room opening to the light court, as well as a sky-lit central bathroom (shower-over-bath), plus a powder room and a European laundry, before a high-quality gourmet kitchen that offers exceptional functionality with top-line Miele and AEG appliances, Caesarstone benchtops, solid timber cabinetry and a servery window connecting to the living domain. An expanse of extended and double-glazed space at the rear beneath a soaring gabled ceiling with fans integrates a versatile mezzanine bedroom or multipurpose room, along with family dining and living area where west-facing windows (automatic external blinds) and doors overlook and access a leafy, private and sun-splashed courtyard – a natural extension of the living space ideal for relaxed entertaining. Sitting privately and securely above a remote-control double garage is a stylish studio adding remarkable versatility with its own hot water service, ensuite bathroom, split-system heating/cooling and ethernet connectivity making it the perfect guest’s suite, home office, creative studio or independent living space. Also includes multiple split-system heating/cooling units, alarm system, LED lighting, block-out blinds and copious fitted, roof and wine storage. Zoned to North Melbourne Primary and University High School, this inspiring residence balances elegant period charm with considered modern practicality delivering a serene city-edge setting only moments to Errol Street cafes and shops, Queen Victoria Market, Royal Park, major Melbourne hospitals, new train station and trams.
