16 Draper Street
Albert Park

On the curve of a tightly held pocket, steps from St Vincent Gardens and Albert Park Village, this double-fronted Victorian workers’ cottage c1870 sitting on 214sqm* reveals enduring character, surprising space and potential in one of the area’s premier settings. Solid brick and entirely detached, the property comes with a driveway for two cars and a desirable northern rear orientation, placing it among the suburb’s finest opportunities.

Behind its traditional façade, a generous single-level floorplan unfolds across three well-scaled bedrooms, including two with built-in robes and one with an integrated desk. The rear bedroom/home office opens via full-width concertina doors, allowing the option to extend the open-plan living domain, where a recently updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances enjoys outlooks to the garden. Timber-framed sliding doors draw the outdoors in, connecting to a bluestone-paved courtyard bathed in northern sun and bordered by established greenery, while a second living and dining zone offers a welcoming contrast with its original brick fireplace.

Comfortable as is, with a central bathroom, laundry facilities and split system heating/cooling, it also provides scope to enhance further (STCA), within walking distance of popular cafes and restaurants, MSAC, Albert Park Lake, South Melbourne Market, multiple tram lines and the light rail.
