42 Canterbury Road, Middle Park, Vic 3206

Directly opposite Albert Park Lake, this grand c1880 Victorian terrace pairs historical integrity with family scale, offering dual access via Wright Street and secure off-street parking in a truly coveted, walkable lifestyle pocket. Four bedrooms, exceptional proportions, and exquisite original detail define a home of enduring presence, moments from the light rail, MSAC and Armstrong Street Village.

Beyond a high-fenced frontage, richly-hued Baltic pine floors and towering ceilings define the interior, introduced by an arched hallway and leadlight windows that draw in natural light across both levels. A formal lounge with an Italian marble fireplace opens through French doors to a checkerboard-tiled porch and garden, whilst a large kitchen and dining area is well-appointed with a 900mm Ilvestove, Miele dishwasher, and two walk-in pantries, one retaining original tessellated flooring. At the rear, a sunroom, which doubles as a study, connects to a leafy and private courtyard with an undercover BBQ area for al-fresco dining and remote gated parking.

Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged, with a ground-floor bedroom featuring built-in robes, and three additional bedrooms positioned upstairs. The main suite spans the full width of the home, capturing treetop views across the park and morning light from its north-eastern aspect. Double-glazed sash windows, a walk-in robe and a marble-detailed ensuite add a layer of modern refinement, while a central bathroom with leadlight accents serves the remaining few. Impressive in size and unbeatable in position, it is zoned for Albert Park College and within walking distance of the beach and Middle Park Primary, and features hydronic heating, marble-tiled bathrooms, ducted air conditioning (upstairs), European laundry, powder room, and understairs storage, making it immediately liveable with scope to enhance over time (STCA).
