An integral part of the distinguished streetscape of Macarthur Place, the sympathetically refurbished, block fronted facade of 'Sheffield' (1869) proudly opens to surprisingly spacious proportions, with a perfectly presented interior, cleverly re-imagined to create an ideal environment for contemporary living.
Located with the open space of Macarthur Square park on your doorstop, this highly desired position provides you with a huge front garden without any of the upkeep, and all the benefits of Lygon Street, that is the bars, restaurants, supermarkets, cafes, Cinema Nova, the parklands around Melbourne Museum....in fact, the centre of the CBD are all within a walk, bike, bus or tram ride!
Enhanced by extra high ceilings, and brick bond wood parquetry flooring; the ground floor accommodation is filled with character and includes a study or home office, large enough to work as a bedroom if desired complementing an open plan living/meals area streaming with light from the north-facing courtyard.
Featuring a gas log fire and opening through oversize French doors out to an entertainer's deck bathed in the Northern sun and bordered by a flourishing garden, it cleverly integrates a striking contemporary kitchen, designed by a chef. Stone tops, open shelving, a tiled splashback, gloss finished cabinetry, an Ilve 900 mm oven and a huge island create a culinary haven that still has the chef a part of everything that's happening inside and out!
On the first floor, two generous bedrooms, one with an outlook over the park, share a sleek modern light-filled bathroom with shower and separate bath, detailed with stone and finished with floor to ceiling tiles.
The long list of desired extras includes split system units in each room for year-round comfort, a guest powder room on the ground floor, a cleverly concealed laundry with sink, alarm, keyless entry, and voluminous attic storage (drop downstairs) complementing other intelligent storage solutions.
