108 Charles Street, Abbotsford, Vic 3067

Among leafy environs just steps from lifestyle allures, this charming classic blends old and new with the utmost care and finesse, revamped to offer city fringe living at its most relaxing. Past a façade where ornamentation celebrates Victorian origins, a flowing interior pairs period details with countless modern comforts. Robes, heaters, and a polished concrete bathroom service two oversized bedrooms, while a sublime central lounge and light court complement an architect designed extension made for hospitality. With clerestory windows and a 3.2m ceiling promoting light, space, and airiness, living and dining zones step into a backyard brimming with sunlight, while a gourmet kitchen’s stone benches, profuse cabinetry, waterfall island, and Bosch appliances prove superb for the passionate cook. Further highlights include reverse cycle heating/cooling, ventilating louvres, a European laundry, shed, and old world features in Baltic pine floors, picture rails, a corbel arched hallway, and ornate skirts, architraves, and cornice. Framed by Charles Street’s famous foliage, it’s no more than metres to the scenic Yarra Trail, acres of parkland, The Hive shops, Collingwood Station, city trams, and the cafés, restaurants, retail, and nightlife spanning Johnston, Victoria, Smith, and Gertrude Streets.
