A rarity in Balaclava but for this prized pocket just a short stroll from Carlisle Street, this beautiful Boom style Victorian terrace delivers the enviable inner city luxury of generous family accommodation in a quiet tree lined location surrounded by virtually every amenity. One of a number in landmark row, impressive four bedroom plus study proportions are defined by their original classical elegance and a previous renovation that whilst immediately comfortable, also creates options to add value in the future if ever desired. Preceded by its front courtyard entry, the majestic Hawthorn brick façade complete with tessellated tile and iron lacework verandas provides a rich introduction to the soaring rosette ceilings and original era beauty that lie within. Linked by an arched hall, two front rooms perfect as bedrooms or living domains with period style gas fireplaces (one with built in storage) are accompanied by a laundry with shower and powder room, family sized gourmet kitchen and bright north facing living areas that unfold to a sun filled courtyard and remote double garage flexible as a games/work from home office via rear ROW. Upstairs, a brand new bathroom serves a study with northern views and two additional bedrooms, one with bookcase storage, the main featuring extensive BIRs, original OFP and veranda access. Pale hardwood floors, electric storage heating, ceiling fans and multiple skylights add further appeal. Enjoy William Street Reserve at the end of the street, a short stroll to Carlisle Street cafes and shops, trams and trains and an easy commute to a range of leading schools including St Michael’s and Caulfield Grammar.
