Rich in Victorian character and tastefully renovated to have a contemporary feel, ‘Lemontree’ (c.1864) pairs timeless Hawthorn brick elegance with a light-filled modern space, within a prime and much sought-after lifestyle setting. Positioned for both tranquillity and urban vibrancy, it is a fantastic location, adjacent to Crichton Reserve, within steps from the light rail, a few minutes’ walk to the dynamic energy of Bay Street, and with easy access to the Port Melbourne beach and esplanade.
Beyond the double-fronted facade, the interior is instantly engaging, with a single-level floor plan and northern rear aspect, with an inviting al-fresco connection. The two bedrooms feature pristine period elements, with the main bedroom offering a fireplace, walk-in robe and direct semi-ensuite access to the skylit bathroom, with a terrazzo floor and large bath. In the living area, north-facing highlight windows provide natural light through the open living and dining zone, flowing through to a well-appointed marble kitchen with European appliances and an outdoor area ideal for entertaining.
Other highlights include a working fireplace in the lounge, a reverse cycle heating/cooling unit, original Baltic Pine floorboards, European laundry, rear laneway access and a garden/bike shed. Within a short walk to Port Melbourne beach, and with the choice of popular coffee, dining and shopping hotspots of Bay Street, it’s a premium lifestyle base with every box ticked for a turnkey existence that is equally as stylish as it is spacious.
