Impeccably transformed by Alter Eco Architecture, this captivating Boom-era Victorian pairs unforgettable period beauty with a highly innovative contemporary renovation, resulting in a brilliantly executed city-edge home only moments from Melbournes most celebrated lifestyle attractions. Beyond the ornate faade and arched hallway, soaring ceilings, natural timber floors, and preserved heritage detail form a warm and inviting impression, whilst the revival introduces a far more modern way of living, with exceptional attention paid to light, flow, and entertaining.Northern sun pours across the open living and dining zone, with bespoke joinery incorporating banquette seating, media storage and extensive cabinetry to maximise every inch of the design. Bifold doors continue the living spaces outward to a decked courtyard with built-in seating, complemented by a caf-style servery window from the stone kitchen. Smeg, Bosch and Miele appliances further elevate the kitchen with vaulted ceilings carrying through the northern light, whilst upstairs, a secondary living or study area opens via bifold doors to a rooftop terrace featuring a BBQ kitchen, motorised awning and glistening city outlooks amongst the treetops.Three superb bedrooms with built-in robes include a luxurious upstairs main suite with a fitted walk-in robe and ensuite, supplemented by a ground-floor family bathroom with separate powder room, reverse-cycle heating and cooling, solar panels, double glazing, deep roof storage, keyless entry, ROW pedestrian access, and a secure storage shed.
