For Sale Via Expressions of Interest

With commanding frontage to a pre-eminent Melbourne boulevard, this timeless terrace pairs the quiet, turn-key splendour of a first-class renovation with the enduring elegance of late-Victorian roots.

Past a façade remaining as alluring today as it was over 130 years ago, the home's remarkable interior makes a first impression that's destined to last. High, intricate ceilings, timber floors, and a double-corbel arch frame an inviting hallway, with the abode's refined palette promoting warmth, comfort, and calm. Serviced by a modern lower bathroom, a sizeable front office that can easily act as a fourth bedroom when visitors arrive, while upstairs, three substantial bedrooms are joined by a sleek bathroom.

Ideal for the regular host, wonderfully broad living and dining zones flank a gourmet kitchen with stone benches, profuse cabinetry, a 900mm gas-top cooker, dual DishDrawer, and Zip Tap, while a lengthy pergola and laneway roller-door see an entertainer's yard double as a carport. With a second-storey veranda brilliant for a morning coffee listening to the birds or sunset drink alongside friends, other highlights of the exceptional residence include abundant storage, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, a full-size laundry, and Commercial 1 zoning (C1Z) opening opportunities for business pursuits.

Magnificently placed for indulging in the best of Fitzroy, Collingwood, and Carlton, it's no more than metres to Carlton Gardens' pristine expanses, St Vincent's and Epworth Freemasons Hospitals, and the cafés, restaurants, bars, and shopping options scattered across Gertrude, Brunswick, Smith, Nicholson, and Lygon Streets, while neighbouring East Melbourne's Fitzroy and Treasury Gardens reveal the city's cultured East End and iconic MCG.
