196 Cecil Street

South Melbourne VIC 3205

Completed for local Engineer William Brierley in 1884, superb Chadtmoss took its place amongst South Melbourne's rapidly flourishing Victorian streetscape in a prominent top of the hill position near the soon to be completed Town Hall, a magnificent legacy of Melbourne's defining 19th Century property boom. Fast forward to today, and Chadtmoss' tri-level accommodation remarkably retains much of its early period integrity, deftly combining it with successive interior updates that have sympathetically contributed quality modern function. Immediate enjoyment of its immaculate dimensions provides a fine starting point for contemporary revival or renovation considerations (STCA) that maximise one of the area's most iconic addresses completely surrounded by lifestyle attractions only moments from the South Melbourne Market, CBD, transport links and nearby bayside beaches. With formal sitting and dining domains featuring soaring ceilings and marble open fireplaces, a large family friendly kitchen with ILVE Nostalgie cooker and central dining opening to a private alfresco courtyard providing remote parking for 2 vehicles via rear lane way. Three first floor bedrooms share an updated bathroom with walk in shower, one with private terrace plus the impressive main with extensive built in robes/ storage, ornamental open fire and front balcony access. At the top, a fabulous study or fourth bedroom or retreat with built in storage and balcony provides CBD views via clever Velux windows. Includes separate laundry and powder room, monitored alarm and hydronic heating.
