Subscribe to regular market updates. With a refined European edge and tucked into a peaceful Emerald Hill laneway, this solid brick Victorian residence is a captivating find, with an address that feels hidden away, yet sits on the fringe of Albert Park Lake and Clarendon Street. From the corner position and ROW pedestrian access to the northern aspect that draws in the light and sets the scene for al-fresco dining, it’s quiet, low-fuss and entirely removed from the pace of the city, despite sitting right in the middle of it. The floor plan flows freely, with engineered oak timber underfoot and high ceilings leading through the arched hallway to a generous living and dining room that is immediately calm and spacious. The kitchen allows for easy indoor-outdoor entertaining, with its natural marble surfaces and linen Roman blinds offering a soft, pared-back finish, enhanced by top-of-the-line Fisher & Paykel appliances. A study area with integrated joinery affords separation for uninterrupted work, while the high-walled courtyard provides a sunny spot to relax and entertain, backdropped by a picturesque wall of climbing fig. Each of the bedrooms features built-in robes; the main bedroom has an open fireplace, and both share the renovated, bathroom located at the rear, featuring the original claw-foot bath and European laundry facilities. Impeccably presented throughout, it offers an easy-care, move-in-ready inner-city base in an exclusive heritage row, a short walk to Albert Park Village, South Melbourne Market, Royal Botanic Gardens, ANZAC Station, elite schools, and a choice of tram lines, including the No. 96, 12, and 1 routes.
