Last Listing description (December 2016)

Unique, picturesque, freestanding and private, this magnificent 1866 single-level period residence sits elegantly in one of East Melbourne's most tightly held precincts opposite Powlett Reserve and has been cleverly extended to provide substantial four bedroom, three bathroom family accommodation wrapped around a secluded garden oasis flooded in natural light, on over 500sqm of land.
Built in 1866 by Murray and Hill, who were recognised as the most notable builders in East Melbourne at the time; the home was comprehensively renovated and extended by the current owners to re-create its Victorian aura of elegance while creating a modern family home. The result was so impressive; the home was featured in several design magazines.
The extension runs down the eastern side of the property for maximum privacy and to open the house up to the western light and private garden aspects. Towering ceilings with delicate cornices, marble fireplace mantels and lustrous timber floors provide a beautiful backdrop to the serenely soaring interior with the freedom of flowing space on a most surprising and exceptional scale.

A formal sitting room sits proudly in its refinement at the front of the house overlooking the park; while the core of the home opens out to a vast dining room and adjoining living room set beneath a soaring vaulted skylight with the warmth of a Jetmaster fireplace and French doors seamlessly linking to the beautiful entertainer's garden with feature pond flooded in sun from the north and west.
The kitchen features the same pitched ceiling for a dramatic effect which is enhanced by the use of specially designed lighting. A wall of windows above the sink overlooks the terrace filling the room with light and forging a convenient link with the outdoor dining area.
A rumpus room leading out to the garden serves two double fitted bedrooms with garden aspects; while two further fitted bedrooms are located in the original part of the house including the tranquil northern main bedroom overlooking the park with a walk-in robe and sublime stone finished en suite. Two further bathrooms serve the needs of a family in style.
Despite its heritage, the home is very much in line with 21st century priorities with 1.5 kilowatts of solar power, hydronic heating, a double garage accessed via a rear laneway, alarm, excellent storage including a store room and vast attic storage. and a love of natural light harnessed through west-facing glass and abundant skylights.
The undeniable appeal of this period home is made utterly irresistible by the lifestyle it offers in the heart of Melbourne within minutes of Victoria Street's restaurant district, the CBD and its Arts precinct, Melbourne's sporting venues, Fitzroy Gardens and trams.
