Subscribe to regular market updates. Juxtaposing architectural excellence with the grandeur of Victorian architecture, this solid brick four-bedroom residence owns one of Melbourne’s most coveted addresses, mere steps from the beach and Albert Park Village. Transformed by McMahon and Nerlich with outdoor spaces by landscape designer Ben Scott, this home is designed to maximise light and space, culminating in a showstopping rooftop terrace where uninterrupted Port Phillip Bay and city views unfold in every direction. A lovingly maintained front courtyard with tessellated tiling and Boston ivy-clad high-walled privacy opens into the exceptional interior, where interconnecting living and dining spaces are curated to maximise light and flow. Enhanced by a north-facing bay window, ornate corbel archway and richly-stained hardwood flooring, it perfectly balances period grandeur and contemporary design, down to the original marble mantles, now home to Ecosmart gas fireplaces. Open-plan living and dining follow a gallery of custom joinery, extending fully to the landscaped rear garden afforded by walls of glass and high ceilings. An accompanying natural marble kitchen with a suite of Miele integrated appliances and adjoining butler’s pantry with incredible storage are a host's dream, offering unbeatable alfresco fluidity and light-filled privacy for unforgettable entertaining. Upstairs, the north-facing main suite boasts double-glazed access to the city-view balcony, a walk-through fitted robe and a dual vanity ensuite. This is matched by two additional robed bedrooms and a main bathroom on the same level, complemented by a versatile top-floor space with an ensuite bathroom, living room/guest bedroom and a breathtaking rooftop terrace. A peerless addition and the only home on this section of Kerferd Road with a rooftop, its incredible bay-to-city vista over the ornate brick facade is genuinely one of a kind. Positioned within the Albert Park College and Middle Park Primary School catchments, and mere steps from the beach, the 96 light rail, MSAC, and Albert Park Village, this home offers a premium lifestyle, complete with hydronic heating, a powder room, European Laundry, zoned reverse-cycle heating/cooling, an in-built rooftop BBQ, wine storage, ROW laneway access, garden storage, alarm system, and video intercom entry. 83 Danks Street Albert Park Albert Park Primary School Bridport Street Albert Park 62 Pickles Street Albert Park Middle Park Primary School Richardson Street Middle Park 40 Bay Street Port Melbourne Montague Continuing Education Centre 100 Montague Street South Melbourne Mac Robertson Girls High School 350-370 Kings Way Melbourne Port Melbourne Primary School 415 Graham Street Port Melbourne Victorian College Of The Arts Secondary School 57 Miles Street Southbank Melbourne Grammar School St Kilda Park Primary School 68 Fitzroy Street St Kilda Melbourne Grammar School Domain Rd Melbourne South Yarra Primary School 601 Punt Road South Yarra Christ Church Grammar School 677 Punt Road South Yarra Melbourne Girls Grammar 86 Anderson Street South Yarra New Generation College Level 6 152-168 Elizabeth Street Melbourne St Michael's Grammar School The Meridian International School 196 Flinders Street Melbourne Presentation College Windsor 187 Dandenong Road Windsor Windsor Primary School Melbourne High School Forrest Hill South Yarra 399 Lonsdale Street Melbourne Level 3 - 169 Swanston Street Melbourne St Kilda Primary School Brighton Rd St Kilda Christian Brothers' College 11 Westbury Street St Kilda East 214 Dandenong Road St Kilda East DOXA School West Melbourne 300 Rosslyn Street Melbourne West 6 Prince Patrick Street Richmond 168 Exhibition Street Melbourne Richmond Primary School Brighton Street Richmond
