A magnificent East Melbourne address only metres to Powlett Reserve and Darling Square is the prestigious setting for this excellent Victorian terrace. Quietly tucked away beyond glorious garden with a classic lace-trimmed profile, this elegant solid brick residence blends graceful heritage character and stylish modern quality throughout an impeccably presented interior designed for superb single-level living that's spacious, secluded and secure.

Unfolding upon polished hardwood floorboards highlighted by impressive period ceilings, an arched hallway entrance reveals two large bedrooms each featuring marble open fireplaces, built-in robes and plantation shutters. A contemporary bathroom with frameless-glass shower and a laundry with access to the side path/utilities area are centrally located while hydronic heating, split-system air-conditioner, security alarm, video intercom and extensive attic ladder storage are marvellous additional features.

An open-plan extension at the rear is warm and inviting incorporating an outstanding gourmet kitchen in mother-of-pearl granite that boasts first-class Miele appliances and soft-close storage. The dining and living areas feature an in-built gas log fireplace and broad bifold doors creating a wonderful indoor-outdoor connection to an entertainment deck and landscaped courtyard creating a private and leafy, sun-filled garden backdrop.
