Parkville VIC 3052

A distinguished presence in a prized Parkville Village pocket reflects the fine standing, elegant character and superb quality of Roxborough House, a 4 bedroom balcony terrace. Integrating a series of attractive courtyard gardens and upper-level vistas, Roxborough House (1884) is a refined, light and spacious Victorian residence renovated by award-winning architect Allan Powell that offers a remarkable indoor-outdoor lifestyle in a prestigious city-edge location. A beautiful heritage faade gives way to an exquisite interior where an arched hallway entrance reveals gracious, perfectly-proportioned spaces flowing beyond a tranquil central terrace to a leafy north-facing rear garden oasis. High classical ceilings and marble open fireplaces in the formal sitting and dining rooms illustrate a rare refinement that transitions from a stunning granite kitchen (V-Zug steam and conventional ovens, Miele dishwasher), a powder room and laundry (chute) to a light-filled family living room with custom wall storage. Upstairs accommodation of 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (heated floors) complemented by built-in robes, a fitted storage area and a balcony is completely flexible for everchanging family needs. This magnificent home is entirely enhanced by hydronic heating, Jetmaster gas FPs, security alarm, NBN, polished floorboards, automatic exterior blinds, garden irrigation and secure off-street parking. Roxborough House is enviably positioned in one of Parkville's most sought-after streets where within easy walking distance are University High School, Melbourne University, major hospitals, Royal & Princes Parks, Queen Victoria Market and the CBD.
