Victorian heritage enters a new era in this three-level terrace, transformed through an architect’s lens, where a premier address fuses inner-city ease with a compelling three-level layout, secure off-street parking and panoramic rooftop views. Behind a traditional façade, its remarkable interior introduces clean geometry, glass, and stone over dynamic living zones, culminating in an exclusive city-view balcony.

Italian marble, European oak and glass floor panels form the foundation of the sunlit interiors, revealing a north-facing living, dining and kitchen area that opens onto a cobblestone and bluestone courtyard for entertaining. The Miele-appointed kitchen brings a visual lightness to the ground floor, softened by pale timber tones and underscored by a wealth of storage. Three generous bedrooms and two bathrooms are positioned over two upper levels, each with robes, including a second bedroom with a distinctive iron-laced Victorian balcony overlooking the city lights. With a private rooftop terrace, the top-floor main suite reveals an exceptional domain to soak in the elevated northern outlook across Melbourne’s skyline, with an operational Velux skylight, built-in-robes with bespoke storage and a luxe, twin vanity ensuite.

Designed for a pace of life that shifts from stillness to CBD in minutes, it holds a premium position within walking distance of Clarendon Street and Albert Park Lake, with MSAC, South Melbourne Market and tram routes all nearby. Moments from the Royal Botanic Gardens, entertainment and arts precincts, and the soon-to-open ANZAC station and a choice of leading schools, it is beautifully appointed with an immense amount of storage, reverse-cycle heating/cooling units, a designer powder room, European laundry, oak floors, and plantation shutters.
