South Melbourne VIC 3205

Occupying an exclusive position within the St Vincent Gardens Precinct, this magnificent double-fronted, freestanding c. 1890 Victorian residence has been extensively renovated and extended by Statkus Architecture, culminating in award-winning COS Design and Hamilton Landscapes gardens, a sun-drenched pool and absolute privacy across 308sqm (approx).

Soaring ceilings and engineered oak floors establish the impressive interior proportions, with a fitted home office/fourth bedroom and bathroom preceding the substantial lower-level main suite. Its ornate open fireplace retains the Victorian character, while a custom walk-in robe with full-height storage and a luxe ensuite bring a contemporary finish. Polished concrete flooring and Venetian plaster walls mark a striking architectural transition into the expansive living and dining areas, warmed by a gas fireplace and complemented by a gourmet stone kitchen with premium Siemens appliances and a concealed scullery, ideal for entertainers. Stacked sliding doors open the living domain to a brilliant Northern sun-drenched setting, with the paved alfresco area extending naturally towards the mosaic-tiled infinity-edge pool and private landscaped surrounds. A plumbed BBQ, wood-fired pizza oven and gas outdoor fireplace make entertaining a serious proposition, while the electric awning and fully retractable flyscreen add flexibility through the seasons.

The curved concrete staircase ascends to two generous bedrooms with built-in robes, which share a stylish sky-lit bathroom with bath and heated towel rail, linked by a second living room that opens through bifold doors to a screened terrace capturing sensational city skyline views. Additional features include hydronic heating, reverse-cycle heating and cooling, C-Bus home automation, integrated HEOS sound and AV, video intercom, climate-controlled and insulated attic storage, automatic irrigation and a 5,000L water tank. Ideally positioned, it sits within walking distance of St Vincent Gardens and playground, Albert Park Tennis Club, Albert Park village shops, cafes and wine bars, the beach and the Number 1 tram, affording a quick commute to the CBD, Melbournes art and entertainment precincts and the Royal Botanic Gardens.
