283 Beaconsfield Parade, MIDDLE PARK, VIC

OBVIOUS This 1880 freestanding grand Italianate Victorian home is positioned in arguably the best block within Melbourne’s most valuable suburb of Middle Park. The moment you set your eyes on the commanding façade it simply takes your breath away — and this position opposite the water, with the palm trees, is simply irreplaceable. The renovation throughout has modernised its natural architecture to the most sympathetic of standards. Downstairs you will find an entire level dedicated to living with one of the most spectacular front sitting and dining rooms, framed and anchored by arched halls, bay windows, and working ornate fireplaces. Every chandelier has been imported from all corners of Europe and the wall sconces set a mood of warmth and style. Down the solid chevron timber hall and past the central 137 bottle wine cellar is an informal lounge with timber stack and open fireplace. The kitchen clad in Vagli marble has a curved breakfast bench which overlooks a northeast facing European garden through white timber shutters. An integrated fridge and freezer along with Zip tap, solid brass handles and elegant shaker doors combine to create a timeless and sophisticated space. At the rear is an outdoor kitchen, decking and low maintenance garden with grass area — which leads you to the wide and secure double garage via Ashworth Street. Make your way up the ornate and original staircase to find a guest wing with two large bedrooms with city and bay views and separated by a central bathroom clad in Tundra marble and handmade Italian tiles. Custom designed vanities feature throughout all bathrooms and each of the three include heated towel rails and underfloor heating. The master wing positioned at the front of the home includes a massive ornate ensuite bathroom with double vanity and shower with water views out towards the yachts from the shower. The master holds the best view of the bay you can find in Melbourne. Perfectly positioned with the palm trees of Beaconsfield, you will enjoy some of the best sunrises and sunsets from this room. The most ornate of the five working fireplaces is also found in this full width palatial space and the accommodation also boasts triple glazing. SEALS THE DEAL This home is simply a once in a lifetime opportunity to secure one of the rarest homes to have ever hit the Port Phillip market.
