147 Bank Street South Melbourne

As featured in House & Garden magazine, the inspired renovation by designer Chelsea Hing of this historic c1875 solid brick residence has resulted in an unforgettable family domain enviably situated walking distance to every South Melbourne amenity including Clarendon St shops and restaurants, the market, trams, Albert Park Lake, the CBD and schools. Rich dark stained Baltic pine floors flow through the entrance hall to an inviting sitting room with marble open fire and a gorgeous separate dining room. The stunning extension featuring high ceilings and new hardwood floors comprises a stylish gourmet Miele kitchen appointed with stone and stainless steel benches and American Oak joinery and a generous living room. Bi-fold doors open the living completely to a captivating, entirely private paved garden shaded by a neighboring majestic Oak tree and tropical palms. A car garage at the rear offers scope to add a studio or accommodation above (STCA). Enjoying city views, the light-filled main bedroom with built in robes is accompanied by two additional bedrooms with robes, a built in study nook and two designer bathrooms. A sunny roof-top deck is a fabulous venue for enjoying city views and watching the fireworks. An irresistible inner bayside domain, it also includes an alarm, Euro-laundry, water tank, ample storage and wide rear lane access.
