Perfectly placed in the broad tree-lined stretch of Barrett Street, this engaging home weaves together heritage character with modern ease in a way that feels effortless. A fretworked entry with skylight introduces lofty ceilings and timber floors, leading past two bedrooms, each with built-in robes and fireplaces. The hall then opens to a generous living warmed by a fireplace in rustic brick surrounds. Double doors and floor-to-ceiling glazing on the side reveal a long, enclosed glass-roofed atrium that channels natural light through the centre of the interior. The dining room sits at the rear, overseen by an updated stone-bench kitchen with Bosch appliances and a breakfast bar. Providing a peaceful and private setting to entertain and unwind, the alfresco courtyard connects to a self-contained studio with mezzanine storage and pull-down ladder and direct rear access via an extra-wide second street frontage. Features include a skylit bathroom with bath and shower, laundry, ducted heating and a split-system air conditioner. Stroll to cafés and restaurants on Bridport Street, pick up fresh produce at the Gasworks farmers’ market, or take weekend walks along the bay. Families have the added benefit of zoning for Albert Park Primary School and Albert Park College, two of Melbourne’s most sought-after inner-city schools. City access is effortless with nearby trams.
