THE DEAL
With history spanning over 100 years, ‘Torver’ is a timeless Edwardian that provides high-level modern comfort and charm in a location that’s simply second-to-none.
Elegant, fully renovated interiors offer sustainable luxuries while retaining period character. A glorious, gabled façade is complemented by genuine leadlight windows, beautiful 9-to-15-foot cathedral-style ceilings, and modern skylights in the main house and separate, private studio. First-class features include NBN fibre to the premises, a bespoke, chef-designed kitchen with Italian stone benches and island, stylish, renovated central bathroom with heated towel rack, ensuite to the master bedroom, solar panels, hydronic heating, split-system cooling, recycled timber floors, triple-glazed windows with flyscreens and external window blinds, and a video intercom for a secure keyless entry.
Highlighting the home’s endless practicality, the kitchen’s extensive cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances prove capable of catering for droves. The bedrooms feature impressive robe space while the remaining areas feature custom storage (a wine cellar) and two massive, fully insulated attics. Versatility is underpinned by multiple living areas including a scenic mezzanine, perfect as a kids’ refuge, reader’s retreat, or base for the home professional. A low-maintenance yard soaks in northern sun, with a lengthy pergola and open-air lounge serviced by a ready-to-go gas barbecue and power outlets for all-year entertainment.
Hidden at the block’s rear, a standalone private studio enjoys direct access through a secure side gate, with a combined living area/bedroom and on-trend bathroom equally ideal as a visitor’s suite, teenager’s escape, or yield-producing residence distinct from the main home.
Zoned for acclaimed Princes Hill Primary/Brunswick Secondary College, while steps from Princes Park’s leisure trail and football stadium, Royal Park’s tennis and golf clubs, ovals, and acres of open space, and Sydney Road’s famous cuisine, shopping,
nightlife, and Jewell Railway Station. A prestigious, edge-of-Parkville position sees Royal Parade trams, buses, and bike paths access hospitals, universities, and the CBD in no time.
SEALS THE DEAL
Coziness meets efficiency. Triple glazed timber windows, motorised Velux skylights, high-tech insulation, external shading, recycled timber floors, solar panels, a separate light circuit, heat transfer system, and other eco-friendly solutions ensure minimal reliance on heating and cooling, with potential to operate off-grid.
