An exceptionally rare, inner-city icon overlooking Darling Gardens, 'Northbrook' c1885 is an expansive family Victorian amidst elegant north garden on the corner of Page Street. New custodians of this magnificent balcony terrace will be the beneficiaries of one of Melbourne's finest examples of the era painstakingly restored to retain its distinguished presence while meeting modern family demands. Utterly unique with its deep, north-oriented garden and reams of natural light, this outstanding residence is beautifully adorned with heritage detail and artisan refinement bringing richness and warmth to a gracefully flowing layout featuring 4 bedrooms, study (or 5th bedroom) and 3.5 bathrooms. A grand, tessellated tiled arched hallway introduces a sublime splendour that extends to a beautiful sitting room (park views, marble OFP) and formal dining room. A superb custom-built kitchen with Miele appliances (dual-fuel cooktop, double-ovens, dishwasher), conservatory-style casual dining area, living room and downstairs bedroom all feature French doors onto the garden that creates a wonderfully picturesque, sun-drenched setting. Upstairs accommodation is served by two bathrooms including main with spa bath and hand-painted stained-glass feature window, as well as a broad balcony savouring views to Darling Gardens and the city skyline. Also includes laundry, powder room, ground-floor bathroom, hydronic heating, polished Baltic pine floors, open fireplaces, high ornate ceilings, copious storage plus remote-control gate parking via Page Street. 'Northbrook' is a treasure of remarkable size and stature in a highly-prized parkland position ideal for a family near open-air space and playground, schools, train station, trams and an exciting array of city-fringe caf and shopping precincts.
