176 Danks Street
Albert Park

Steps from the bay within a picturesque, heritage-lined streetscape, this elevated Victorian residence has undergone a chic contemporary overhaul, opening to spectacular northern light, city views and a family-focused layout beyond its unassuming, charming single-fronted façade.

High ceilings and full sun immediately draw the eye toward the rear garden, leading along the corbel-arched hallway past two generously proportioned bedrooms with robes and a central bathroom to the open-plan domain beyond. Sunken living and dining areas with built-in banquette seating flow effortlessly to the private courtyard, where low-maintenance landscaping and on-trend crazy paving create an inviting al-fresco setting. The entertainer’s kitchen forms a natural extension of this space, finished with Italian marble benchtops, an island bench and premium Bosch appliances, fit for both family living and indoor-outdoor entertaining needs.

Wide, solid-oak stairs ascend to the light-filled upper level, which comprises a sky-lit second bathroom, study nook and two additional bedrooms, including the larger of the two, which boasts north-facing city views. Metres from the playground the bay, and within easy reach of trams, Albert Park Village and Victoria Avenue’s cafés, plus elite schools, MSAC and Albert Park Lake, it also includes engineered oak floors, split-system heating and cooling, an attic with ladder access, a secure side shed with keyless entry, ROW pedestrian gate, a European laundry, partial double glazing and excellent storage throughout.
