Architecturally distinguished and positioned among Melbourne's finest beachside addresses, this c.1888 balconied residence, enhanced by a second frontage to Herbert Place, has been entirely reimagined through a designer renovation and extension, affirming its place as one of the area's premier homes. Featured in *Vogue Living* (2018), this inspired collaboration between esteemed builder FIDO and Melbourne's acclaimed interior design studio, Golden, has redefined the historic Filigree architecture with a vibrant, modern elegance tailored for today's lifestyle.
Beyond the meticulously presented gardens, remarkable period details span from a tessellated tiled veranda to a vast reception hall framed with a grand arch, Baltic pine floors and exquisite natural light. Superbly proportioned formal sitting and dining rooms feature Venetian plaster surfaces and original marble fireplaces flowing into the contemporary open-plan living and dining areas, anchored by a bespoke kitchen with V Zug appliances, custom cabinetry and a spectacular granite island.
Deep steel sills frame oversized picture windows overlooking the gardens, with French doors affording seamless alfresco access to the European-style courtyard with built-in BBQ, striking with its Shou Sugi Ban cladding and low-maintenance lush landscaping. Four bedrooms on the upper level include the sumptuous main bedroom with an indulgent marble-clad ensuite and extensive fitted robes, plus an accessible balcony with breathtaking north-western views over the iconic Plane Trees.
Three additional bedrooms share a second bathroom, whilst further features include a separate powder room, European laundry, integrated sound system, double garage with access from Herbert Place, two attic access points, double glazing to the rear, irrigation system, hydronic floor heating to kitchen/living areas, zoned ducted reverse cycle cooling in the main ensuite and kitchen/living, and hydronic heating throughout. Located within the Albert Park College and Middle Park Primary School zones, a short walk to the light rail, MSAC, Albert Park Village, the beach, the lake precinct and only moments to a choice of Melbourne's leading private schools.
