160 Napier Street
South Melbourne

A rare proposition in a celebrated tree-lined Emerald Hill setting, this magnificent solid brick Victorian terrace with both commercial and residential zoning delivers a level of scope seldom found in this premier park-side setting. A north-eastern corner orientation lifts each room with natural light, enriching the original proportions and expanding the possibilities for those seeking residential living, commercial use or a future family reinvention (STCA), all within one of Melbourne’s most tightly held historic precincts.

High ceilings, traditional leadlight and a versatile layout shape an inviting series of rooms, supported by multiple entry points and a location within walking distance of Clarendon Street, Albert Park Lake and the Royal Botanic Gardens. Beyond the imposing façade, multiple ground-floor rooms adapt to a range of needs. Three sizable bedrooms or offices line the ground floor, offering flexibility of a living room or reception space.

Upstairs, expansive living and dining rooms with soaring 3.4m ceilings open to a landmark balcony terrace above the tree-lined streetscape, joined by a stone-detailed kitchen with a Smeg induction cooktop and a timeless bathroom. An additional powder room is situated beyond the sunlit red-brick courtyard, linking to a wide lane along two sides of the property, with remote-controlled roller door access for secure off-street parking.

Heating and cooling throughout, CCTV, alarm security, laundry facilities and classic terrace proportions reinforce the flexibility on offer. With ANZAC Station, MSAC, Domain and Albert Park Village dining, South Melbourne Market, Melbourne Grammar, The Mac.Robertson Girls’ High School and direct tram routes nearby make it an exceptional opportunity to live, work, or invest in a historic address with significant scope for future reinvention (STCA).
