THE DEAL
Relishing its placement on Hotham Hill’s finest street, this period-style masterpiece embraces North Melbourne’s blend of leafy calm and city vibrancy, promising the light, space, and versatility essential for family life.
Vibrant London Plane trees see the broader streetscape present as one of inner-Melbourne’s most picturesque, with the home itself an inspired recreation of the timeless late Victorian terrace. Ornate lacework, tessellated tiles, and polychrome brickwork precede charming interior details, tastefully complemented by countless modern luxuries. A ground-floor study doubles as a serene lounge or fifth bedroom, with a large lower guest room and trio of upstairs bedrooms collectively served by walk-in and built-in robes, three chic bathrooms, and two balconies taking in vivid views of surrounding foliage.
A stunning stair void marks movement from accommodation to entertaining, with a wide hallway reaching a back section bathing in northern sunlight. A quiet reading nook flanks a wonderfully open living/dining zone, with stone benches, abundant soft-close cabinetry, dual Neff ovens, a 900mm gas stove, integrated dishwasher, and linear island pendant heightening the appeal of a home chef’s kitchen. Sliding glass streamlines indoor-outdoor flow, with rain-sensing louvres ensuring hospitality prowess regardless of climate. With swathes of greenery, a broad backyard offers a calming retreat from the nearby bustle, while other highlights include a four-car garage (accessed via ultra-wide Shands Lane), under-floor heating to upstairs bathrooms, comprehensive heating/cooling, 6kW solar energy with Tesla battery, extensive attic and general storage, timber floors, an alarm, Google Nest, full-size laundry, and zoning for respected University High School.
With Errol Street’s lively culinary and afterhours scenes, Royal Park’s vast expanses, and the suburb’s heartland in Arden Street Oval just steps away, it’s no more than a quick tram or bicycle ride to Parkville’s hospital/university precinct, Arden Station, iconic Queen Victoria Market, and the city’s bustling heart.
