Subscribe to regular market updates. Only one block from the sand and transformed for modern-day excellence, this Boom-era Victorian is more than it first suggests, opening to a brilliant architectural vision with north-facing flow, secure off-street parking, and an award-winning poolside setting that brings outdoor living into focus. Superbly proportioned, the entry extends beyond the architect-designed garden and Lump Studio sculpture, leading into a sky-lit hall with natural timber floors and high square-set ceilings, into a substantial living, dining and entertaining zone at the rear. It's here where the connection between indoors and out delivers the home’s most impressive moment, with a custom full-height acrylic window framing the elevated heated pool and spa by Out From The Blue. Complete with a plumbed BBQ and adjoining garage that doubles as an entertainment space with overhead heating, it’s no surprise the design was awarded Victoria’s Best Innovative Pool and Spa by SPASA in 2018. Miele and AEG appliances are integrated into the streamlined kitchen, where floating stone benchtops and solid cabinetry reinforce the clean, contemporary finish, complemented by an oversized pivot door that extends the custom joinery into a flexible, fully-fitted office with a view to the bamboo-lined courtyard. The main suite follows this calming aesthetic with a desirable ground-floor position, gallery-style robes and a renovated en suite, while two additional bedrooms sit upstairs, each with built-in robes, including one with direct entry to the central bathroom. Only a few minutes’ walk to the beach, and moments from Albert Park Village, Victoria Avenue's restaurants, trams and Albert Park College, it is irresistibly appealing, finished to the highest standard with hydronic heating, partial double glazing, air-conditioning to every room, a full laundry, powder room, indoor/outdoor theatre system, solar and gas pool/spa heating, a wealth of storage and garage access via Cameron Place. 62 Pickles Street Albert Park 83 Danks Street Albert Park Albert Park Primary School Bridport Street Albert Park 40 Bay Street Port Melbourne Port Melbourne Primary School 415 Graham Street Port Melbourne Montague Continuing Education Centre 100 Montague Street South Melbourne Middle Park Primary School Richardson Street Middle Park Victorian College Of The Arts Secondary School 57 Miles Street Southbank Mac Robertson Girls High School 350-370 Kings Way Melbourne Melbourne Grammar School Melbourne Grammar School Domain Rd Melbourne St Kilda Park Primary School 68 Fitzroy Street St Kilda New Generation College Level 6 152-168 Elizabeth Street Melbourne Christ Church Grammar School 677 Punt Road South Yarra South Yarra Primary School 601 Punt Road South Yarra The Meridian International School 196 Flinders Street Melbourne Melbourne Girls Grammar 86 Anderson Street South Yarra DOXA School West Melbourne 300 Rosslyn Street Melbourne West 399 Lonsdale Street Melbourne Level 3 - 169 Swanston Street Melbourne St Mary's Primary School 118 Cecil Street Williamstown 168 Exhibition Street Melbourne Simonds Catholic College 273 Victoria Street Melbourne West St Michael's Grammar School Williamstown Primary School 115 Cecil Street Williamstown Melbourne High School Forrest Hill South Yarra Holmes Secondary College 185 Spring Street Melbourne Presentation College Windsor 187 Dandenong Road Windsor Windsor Primary School St Kilda Primary School Brighton Rd St Kilda
