Subscribe to regular market updates. Step into this urban oasis, a magnificent c1890 Hawthorn brick freestanding Victorian home, metres from South Melbourne Market and extending to secure garaging with a self-contained studio accessed via Nixon Place at the rear. This family home has been reworked for tranquil, modern family living in the heart of the inner citys most coveted bayside pockets with amenity hard to beat. Admired for its period facade yet tailored for light and resort-inspired amenity within, the revitalised layout unfolds with heritage grandeur and architectural brilliance, creating flexibility across the multi-level, multi-faceted floorplan. A soaring 3.6m-high arched hall introduces a versatile sitting room, large office or sixth bedroom with generous storage, flowing into a formal dining room overlooking the pool. Beyond, the light-filled living and dining domain wows, oriented for large-scale entertaining with expansive timber-framed sliders opening to a decked alfresco area and heated plunge pool, backdropped by reclaimed timber from the old Port Melbourne pier. Mature greenery and quality mod grass provide a private, low-maintenance lock-up and go setting, complemented by plumbing for the BBQ, built-in seating, outdoor heating and sound, plus a new motorised awning. The design fosters a refined yet relaxed indoor-outdoor flow, supported inside with a wood-burning fireplace, soaring oak-lined vaulted ceilings and a premium Miele-appointed central kitchen. Four bedrooms with built-in robes and three bathrooms complete with a built-in sauna ascend in the upstairs of the main residence, headlined by the luxurious master suite retreat, which enjoys custom-fitted walk-around robes and city views from its indulgent bathroom with a freestanding bath and open-air terrace. An independent self-contained studio with kitchenette and bathroom is ideal for a home office, workout room, teenage or guest retreat, with a single remote garage below opening up to Nixon Place offering quiet access and area for neighbourly gatherings and play. Pressed metal ceilings and marble OFPs feature throughout, enhanced by hydronic heating, ducted reverse-cycle heating/cooling, integrated sound, double glazing, downstairs powder room and irrigation, all within footsteps of the No. 96 light rail and South Melbourne Market, Coventry and Clarendon Street shopping precincts, with easy access to leading schools, St Vincent Gardens, Albert Park Village, MSAC, Albert Park Lake, the Botanical Gardens and the CBD.
