VICTORIAN GRANDEUR, SUPERB GARDEN SETTING
'Polector', located close to Melbourne University, major hospitals and transport, is one of Parkville's grandest Boom-period residences. Elegant light-filled rooms, remarkable period detail and a flexible four-bedroom floor plan make this historic property ideal for large-scale family living and entertaining. On a broad corner allotment, the house has a tuck-pointed façade enhanced by a wide return verandah with filigree lacework and slender pillars. Entry is to an impressive central hallway, opening on one side to a beautifully proportioned living room with a marble fire surround, and on the other to a spacious bedroom. Both have bay windows to the garden and fine plaster detail. Opposite the gracious formal dining room are a tiled bathroom and a bedroom opening into a light court. Two further bedrooms (or one plus study), a further living room and a sleek second bathroom are set to the rear. A central kitchen and informal living area comprises adjoining kitchens, fitted in polished timber, and a family room. The whole of this section of the building opens out across a lace-trimmed verandah into the delightful north-facing walled garden. One side is bounded by a double remote-entry garage and laundry.
Within the University High School Zone, and close to Melbourne University, major hospitals and Royal Park, 'Polector' offers exceptional city-fringe living. See it and be captivated!
