118 Pickles Street
South Melbourne

Captivating with its extra-wide, restored period façade yet beautifully transformed within, this freestanding Victorian home reveals a showstopping architectural reinvention by award-winning Tom Robertson Architects. Light-filled and entirely private, the interiors are finished to an exceptional level, complemented by secure garaging for two via Little Boundary Street, offering a second discreet and considered arrival. Hallmarked by the era’s beauty, the generous reception hall introduces an executive study or fourth bedroom with integrated storage and an equally spacious second bedroom, both defined by light oak floors, robes, and ornate fireplaces.

Natural Signorino marble creates a strong textural presence in the designer bathroom and continues into the gourmet kitchen, where sleek custom 2Pac cabinetry is paired with premium NEFF appliances, including dual ovens, Vintec wine fridge and an integrated Liebherr refrigerator. Designed for grand-scale entertaining, the expansive living and dining domain flows to the landscaped rear courtyard, where dramatic architectural angles draw in sunlight and frame the surrounding greenery. Stacked sliding glass doors open the space for easy indoor-outdoor connection, incorporating a dedicated entrance hall providing secondary access from the double-remote garage.

Upstairs, two additional bedrooms include a refined main suite, highlighted by 3.65-metre raked ceilings, a double wall of custom robes, and a luxurious en-suite, reflecting the same level of detail seen throughout the design. Set between Albert Park Village, Bay Street’s shopping precinct, the beach, and South Melbourne Market, and zoned for Albert Park College with easy access to the CBD, this exceptional home is further enhanced by a back-to-base alarm and CCTV, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, video intercom, attic storage above the garage, double glazing, and a storage-rich laundry.
