Absolutely captivating, from its lace-front facade to the open-plan modern enhancements, this lovely Victorian residence is destined to inspire those on the quest for charm, character, comfort and scope in one of Middle Park's premier tree-lined streets. Nestled beyond the plane trees, this sought-after address places you within steps of the bay, Middle Park Village, MSAC and the light rail, with coveted zoning for both Albert Park College and Middle Park Primary School. Enhanced over the years to reflect a modern lifestyle yet perfectly preserving the period charm of its era, this is an ideal home to add to an investment portfolio, downsize to a free-flowing single-level floor plan, or future-proof by extending up (STCA). Hedged gardens beyond a picket fence set the tone, leading through the double-arched hallway to a light-filled interior featuring Baltic Pine floors and high ornate ceilings. Two generous and naturally bright bedrooms boast BIR and OFPs, whilst the bathroom is a master of space, with a clever hidden laundry, bath and walk-in shower. High ceilings flawlessly connect the old with the new, flowing through the open-plan living/dining zone and out to the rear garden via a wall of stacking doors. Seasonal entertainment is a breeze, with lush greenery creating a privacy and weather border, all served by a well-equipped kitchen with Smeg cooking appliances. Wonderfully located and beautifully presented, this Victorian gem includes auto irrigation, ducted heating, split system AC, and a fully-lined attic.
