Last Listing description (December 2020)

An iconic residence in the ever-desirable Emerald Hill precinct, this exquisite, freestanding, double-storey Victorian terrace (built 1875) has been given a superb modern extension and redesign by Clare Cousins Architects, building upon its original period features - soaring ceilings, decorative roses, arches and stained glass - to take full advantage of its particularly large proportions, creating a grand presence throughout.

Step inside to find an attractive formal lounge with marble fireplace surroundings. Move through to the fabulous kitchen with acres of stainless steel benchtops, abundant storage and oversized Ilve freestanding gas cooker, overlooking a deep and spacious open-design living zone, with glorious northerly light and picture window with window seat looking out over the beautiful gardens. Designer steel and glass sliding doors open out to an excellent timber-decked entertaining area, taking in the afternoon sunshine and creating the perfect environment for a cocktail with friends.


Upstairs, discover a stunning master bedroom with marble-tiled luxury ensuite and robes, and private access to the balcony. The large second bedroom and study makes for the ideal teenager's retreat, while a third bedroom with built-in robes and a second bathroom complete the generous accommodations on offer.

With the additional advantages of a ground floor powder room for guests, double glazing for quiet living, hydronic heating and ducted cooling, plus potential for off-street parking, this fabulous home is located moments from the light rail, it's around the corner from South Melbourne Market and cafes, close to the beach, and just minutes into the CBD. Within the sought-after Albert Park College school zone.
