Subscribe to regular market updates. Expressions of Interest closing Thu 28th May at 5pm Quietly, privately, and securely hidden at the rear of its boutique block, this expansive residence is its own haven away from the outside world, bringing space, substance, and sun-splashed style to the lively inner north. From its superior quality to its flexibility and sheer scale, the home is a standout in all respects. Living and dining areas take their place on a wide-open lower level, well-served by an oversized, stone-top kitchen and spilling seamlessly into a leafy backyard for entertaining in total privacy. A relaxing retreat is gifted airiness and atmosphere by a raked ceiling and sun streaming in from the north, joined upstairs by generous guest and third bedrooms, a smart central bathroom, and master with its own ensuite and city-viewing terrace. Abundant storage, 5.2kW solar energy, upscale appliances, comprehensive heating/cooling, plush carpets, a rainwater tank, study area, laundry and powder room, and garage augment appeal, while trendy Miller Street, scattered cafés, respected schools, Preston Market and Station, and the 11 Tram all sit within metres.
