103 Ashworth Street
Albert Park

A clever renovation and two storey extension has filled this traditional Victorian residence with endless streams of northern light, while creating a seamless alfresco flow and a cherished third bedroom. Merely metres from Kerferd Road beach, moments from both Middle Park and Albert Park Villages, this classical home tastefully merges its traditional origins with contemporary entertainers' aspirations.

Creating a charming street presence with a tessellated tiled veranda and original fretwork, the home flows through an arched hallway with Baltic Pine under foot to an open-plan rear where a lofty, double-height ceiling and a full north-facing wall of glass introduce all the light you could ever wish for. Concertina doors create a blissful connection to the sanctuary of a palm-tree-surrounded deck, while an inspired spiral staircase leads to the home's main bedroom where mirrored robes and an ensuite are terrific inclusions. Additional highlights include built-in robes that frame traditional fireplaces in the remaining bedrooms, as well as ducted heating, split system air conditioning, a gleaming central bathroom and a European laundry.

Pivotal to so much inner-bayside amenity and yet so peaceful, this blue ribbon location allows you to enjoy endless walks along the waterfront and plenty of outdoor recreation at Albert Park Lake, as well as fine cafes, dining, bars and local shopping at Armstrong Street and Albert Park Village, while city-bound trams are easily walkable as well.
