Imagine starting each day with leafy views of Royal Park from this renovated home situated within the historic South Parkville precinct. This grand two storey terrace house has been architecturally extended and modernised while still retaining many of its period decorative features. Beyond the front garden and imposing Hawthorn brick facade is an ornate arched hallway, highlighting the high ceilings, cornices, fireplaces and polished floorboards that continue through-out this solid family home. The formal lounge could double as a fourth bedroom, central bathroom with shower, through to the well appointed kitchen with stone bench tops, Smeg six burner oven, integrated dishwasher and Liebherr fridge, overlooking the living and dining areas with sliding doors providing access to the outside entertaining terrace. A secluded retreat at the rear makes an excellent library or TV room, leading to a secure gated access to the rear ROW with permit parking available. Upstairs are three bedrooms, highlighted by the huge master with BIRs and opening to the balcony overlooking the majestic Royal parklands. All are serviced by a central modern bathroom with shower and separate bath. The home features hydronic heating throughout, Cheminees Philippe wood fire box, water tank, NBN fibre to premises and plenty of clever storage spaces. Superbly positioned near Melbourne's major hospitals and tertiary precinct, within the desirable University High School catchment zone, just a short walk to public transport and the vibrant Lygon Street precinct with its shops and alfesco cafes.Note - It is required that all parties attending public inspections are fully vaccinated, under 16 or have a valid medical exemption.
