Last Listing description (December 2016)

Peek behind this Victorian shopfronts period facade and discover a unique architecturally designed residence of elegance refinement and quality. Renovated and conceived by its current owner, this modern home in vibrant North Melbourne reveals a selection of carefully considered zones in which to relax, entertain or work and create: each space cleverly designed to maximise natural light and a sense of privacy, definition and tranquillity. Zoned mixed use, upon entry a generous, separate workspace or office area/consulting room provides the ideal solution for working or running a business from home (STCA) as you gaze through the oversized windows to the urban streetscapes of old North Melbourne town.
Proudly welcome your guests upstairs to an expansive living zone with sweeping tallow-wood polished boards, warm paint tones and intelligently placed celestial windows providing picture frame views over the period parapet, past the Errol St clocktower to a glimpse of the city skyline beyond. Airy & skylit this whole floor is anchored around a striking waterfeature atrium acting as the spectacular centrepiece of the home. Beautiful as it is imposing, it allows lovely light to bathe the living area and kitchen, its stackstone waterfall cascades over two levels, trickling away in the background providing an audible and visual definition piece.
The dining area connects seamlessly to the deluxe modern kitchen with expansive return benchtops providing ample prep space. Bespoke in every sense and finished with sumptuous gold-flecked black stone and red gloss 2 pac cabintry, it features atmospheric drop lights, quality European appliances including dishwasher and sleek Dorf tapware, super trendy matt black ceramic sink and ergonomic specifically designed under-bench storage solutions.

To the rear lies a desirable feature often sought but rarely found - a second living room or separate sunroom, ideal for establishing a secondary area to escape to.
Bifold glass doors frame this room and peel away to reveal a paved entertaining terrace with expansive vistas of North Melbourne's eclectic skyline and heritage mills. This lovely terrace is the perfect spot to indulge your green thumb and create a lush outdoor dining room, or open this lovely space up and allow a fresh natural breeze to whisk through the home.
Both of the home's double bedrooms are beautifully finished with plentiful storage, the second bedroom benefiting from a private ensuite and spacious proportions. Cleverly segmented form the rest of the home, the opulent master suite is a hallmark of the home and an exercise in class and distinction, enjoying grand height ceilings, plush carpets underfoot, rich contemporary mocha tones and an expansive walk-in-robe. A double vanity ensuite finished in rich taupe, chocolate and vanilla colour tones (heated high gloss tiles underfoot) with separate oversized bathtub services this luxurious retreat. The soaring atrium lightwell/water feature continues its impact from the level above as it continues down and provides a lush conservatory setting, the water trickling down to the pebbles and greenery below.
This tremendous home is further enhanced by a large attic store room with shelving, separate designated laundry room with ample timber-finished cabinetry storage, separate guest powder room and an all-important secure single car garage. An exhaustive list of features comprises of bespoke storage, motif lighting, remote operated VeLux windows, electric wall heating, s/s air conditioning, ducted vacuum, alarm system, CAT 5 cabling, keyless remote entry and rainwater tank. Position perfect within walking distance of a multitude of amenity and lifestyle delights and in the sought after University High School catchment, outside your door lies the culture and colour of the Errol Street village precinct, the tranquil native greenery and acreage of Royal Park, the colour, quirkiness and fresh produce of the Queen Victoria Market and of course Melbourne University and The Royal Melbourne Hospital. The trams on Abbotsford St or Flemington Road whisk you into the bustling CBD if you wish, or stroll the period streetscapes and eclectic mix of the local streets, absorbing the diversity of its true inner-city location. An urban oasis of some 227 sqm awaits the next luck owner - act swiftly to secure your urban oasis before it turns into a mirage!
