Long held and solid brick, this freestanding Edwardian residence with exquisite Art Nouveau detail and a wide landscaped frontage occupies a privileged locale just metres from the bay, its timeless character extending across 415sqm (approx.) with secure garaging via Swallow Lane. Beyond the captivating double fronted façade, dual living zones and an independent studio combine to deliver lasting family appeal with outstanding scope for the future (STCA).
A tessellated path is echoed within the entry foyer, with original leadlight windows and high ceilings making a spectacular first impression. The formal living room, complete with a gas fireplace and built-in bar, extends to the north before the layout opens to a welcoming living, dining and kitchen domain at the rear, complemented by an inviting indoor-outdoor connection. Oversized tinted sliders draw in the north-western light and extend the interiors to a European-inspired, wisteria-draped terrace, forming an idyllic setting for al-fresco dining beside a tranquil water feature. A studio with an accompanying bathroom allows flexibility for guests or multi-generational living, with the main home offering up to three spacious bedrooms, including the upper-floor main bedroom with a modern en-suite and separate WC.
A second travertine-detailed bathroom and powder room continue on the ground floor alongside a large laundry, whilst features include an underground storage, original fireplaces, attic storage, irrigation, split system heating/cooling, a workshop/storeroom, electric external blinds, CCTV and an alarm system. Steps from Albert Park Lake, Armstrong Street Village cafés and dining, MSAC and the light rail, and zoned for Albert Park College and Middle Park Primary, it presents immense immediate appeal with the opportunity to enhance, extend or further elevate in a tightly-held beachside enclave (STCA).
