12 Darling Street

East Melbourne VIC 3002

TIMELESS ELEGANCE AND A PRESTIGIOUS ADDRESS
Architect designed with landscaping by Paul Bangay, this fine modern residence offers refined private living opposite tranquil Darling Square, and within easy walking distance of the CBD, the Fitzroy Gardens and East Melbourne hospitals and universities.
The discreet faade, with double remote-entry garage and hedge-clad courtyard, signals the understated elegance of the interior. A paved entry opens into a long gallery-style living and dining room, separated by a fireplace wall from a timber-fitted study/bedroom overlooking the front courtyard. A north-facing wall of glass flows from living zone into what is surely one of the inner-citys most spectacular courtyards, the subject of a Burkes Backyard feature. The courtyard showcases mature wisteria shadings to the windows, manicured Bangay plantings, a raised pond with antique Italian gargoyles, and an expanse of Portuguese tiles. The light-flooded living room is open at one end to a good-sized kitchen fitted with premium appliances, a pantry, and granite benchtops. Separating the two spacious double bedrooms at the eastern end of the house is a stylish bathroom, fitted like the ensuite to the main bedroom with marble benchtops and porcelain tiles. Both bedrooms have generous built-in storage. A door from the laundry leads to a pebbled sideway and drying area.
