Last Listing description (October 2024)
238 Albert Road sits on the Shrine to Sea blvd, sheltered on a one way service road behind a wide plantation of the area's iconic palm trees, this grand Victorian terrace unites yesterday and today in refined style with a panoramic Albert Park view out front and city-view sparkle behind. Offering rare Albert Park lake amenity, this three bedroom, 1.5 bathroom terrace offers wide green views over two-levels with a gracious lounge facing over approx 200 hectares of prime parklands, and an elegant dining-room looking out to a sunlit northerly rear garden through a tall sash-window. Rising above it all, the grand principal bedroom extends the view even further with a palm-fringed outlook to Albert Park Lake across the beautiful iron-laced balcony.
Artfully renovated with an eye to quality, the home offers turnkey functionality with a sophisticated white stone kitchen bench with prestige appliances including Asko dishwasher, and a sleek renovated bathroom with marble-topped vanity plus downstairs powder-room - both with the same fresh terrazzo-style, imported Italian porcelain tiles.
Soaring to lofty 4.2m ceilings with lavish original roses, a high corbelled arch, tall skirtings, the home emphasises original architectural details including double-hung sash windows; rehung and refitted with painstakingly acquired hardware,.
Curated in restrained style with a black Japan finish for the original Huon and Baltic pine wide floorboards, and a mix of contemporary designer lighting and antique chandeliers (repurposed from a stately Essendon home), the home's backdrop of white on white style is enhanced by printed and embroidered French linen curtains as a softening detail.
Appointed for a relaxed city life with reverse-cycle air-conditioning, low-energy electric panel heating, alarm and Smartphone-operated CCTV, this Victorian beauty is set in generous grounds with an iron-fenced entry yard, and a lush Boston Ivy-covered courtyard providing space to entertain in north sun, room for kids to play securely, and potential to add garaging (Subject to Council Approval) through a rear bluestone lane access.
Set on the planned Shrine to Sea 'urban corridor', this blue-chip location has something for every lifestyle with Albert Park at the door as a bonus recreational space, the tennis-courts and driving-range available for an active life, and MSAC as your own pool. Within an easy walk of Albert Park beach, and 10 minutes by tram to the CBD with nearby ANZAC station transport hub soon to be completed, this park-edge property has leading Secondary Colleges (including selective MacRobertson Girls High School) close, Albert Park Secondary College in-Zone, Melbourne Grammar within a walk, and Melbourne's thriving Arts precinct just minutes away by tram.
