Victorian Charm in a Stunning Location

Graced with timeless 1890s Victorian character while seamlessly integrating 21st century flair, this exquisitely renovated two bedroom, dual level residence is the pinnacle of upgraded South Melbourne living in a stunning location. Considered effort has gone into retaining so much of the original late 19th century charm of this striking property, while the added modern elements splashed throughout are uncompromising when they come to quality and class. Offering a potential third bedroom downstairs with a Welsh slate open fireplace, this room can easily be used as a study or dining room, the opportunities are endless. The relaxed rear living and meals hub has wonderful views and easy access out to the entertainer's courtyard which dazzles with built-in timber garden boxes and seating. This courtyard is also one of a kind thanks to a commissioned wall art piece by renowned street artist Damien Arena, with the vibrant 'Lily's Blossoming' artwork a real showpiece of this alfresco zone which can also be enjoyed from the living zone. The updated stone kitchen has the feel of a New York loft and promises exposed beams, sleek subway tiled splashback, open timber shelving and wine box, and premium stainless steel European appliances including an ILVE dishwasher. The sublime bathroom just next door is a model of ultra-modern excellence and boasts sleek terrazzo floor tiles, matte black fixtures, subway wall tiling, and a double shower with gooseneck shower heads.
