182 Beaconsfield Parade, Middle Park

Subscribe to regular market updates. A landmark presence on Melbourne’s exclusive waterfront, this celebrated 1890s Victorian residence is an unremitting sight in Middle Park, long admired for its imposing structure, rich history and cultural significance. From the double-storey loggia to the refined symmetry of its arched façade, it carries the confidence of a long-established dwelling, its generous 651 sqm (approx) allotment stretching through to Ashworth Street with rare dual access and a prized northern orientation at the rear. Beyond the classic Italianate archways, the home unfolds beneath 14-foot ceilings, revealing a series of beautifully preserved formal and family domains. Open fireplaces and marble hearths punctuate the interiors with warmth, from the morning room to the opulent dining space and bay-lined sitting room. The kitchen, equipped for scale with Miele appliances, including dual ovens (steam and combi convection) and a gas cooktop, is well-positioned for both daily use and large-scale entertainment, flowing into a dramatic open-plan living zone beneath soaring 21-foot vaulted ceilings. It is a striking contrast to the traditional reception rooms, with a light-filled volume that pulls focus towards the garden’s verdant allure. Four upstairs bedrooms speak to its family intentions, including a sumptuous main with a walk-in robe and private ensuite, gazing out to the horizon with access to the upper-level loggia. This iconic palm-lined outlook is shared by a second bedroom, with the layout continuing through two additional bathrooms, a mezzanine lounge with wall-to-wall storage, and a ground-floor home office. Outside, multiple covered outdoor spaces promote al-fresco ease, with lush edible grapes lacing the edges of the gazebo, established fruit trees for seasonal produce, a built-in BBQ for afternoon entertaining, and expansive lawns keeping things grounded and convivial. Opposite the Beaconsfield Road pedestrian crossing allowing immediate and safe access to South Melbourne beach, secure parking for four, a separate workshop/storeroom, hydronic heating and scope to evolve further (STCA), this home is one of significance and profound opportunity as one of the area’s few true generational holdings.
