‘Romsey Terrace’ c1871 - Landmark Living, Landmark Design
Gracing a north-facing frontage to St Vincent Gardens, "Romsey Terrace," c1871, holds one of Albert Park’s finest addresses, reimagined by architect Nicholas Murray to bring nineteenth-century architecture into a sharply resolved contemporary setting. Grand in scale and exacting in execution, it is designed for serious entertaining, with secure double garaging via Bevan Street, an elevated pool and a self-contained studio, all within easy reach of Albert Park Village, MSAC, transport and the beach.
The arched entrance hall, laid with wide oak floors, draws immediate north light deep into the residence through intelligent architectural lines. Magnificent formal sitting and dining rooms, each with a marble open fireplace, give way to a skylit dining and living domain suffused in blue from the pool suspended above, and a self-watering light well bordered by a 6m-high vertical garden water wall. The kitchen and butler’s pantry are appointed with Gaggenau appliances, including integrated refrigeration, extending through the open living domain where full-height glass and a suspended wood-burning fireplace align with pivoting and sliding panels that retract entirely to the rear garden.
The upper level centres on a grand main suite beneath soaring ceilings, with a marble OFP, a balcony with garden and city views, a walk-in robe, and a stone-finished ensuite with underfloor heating. To the rear, two additional bedrooms are arranged alongside a central bathroom, with one conceived as a flexible zone, its concealed bed and sliding doors to the pool allowing it to function as a secondary living or guest space, complemented by a private, self-contained studio suite set within the garden.
Leisure extends further into the lower-level, with a recreation or wellness room, a traditional sauna, wine storage, and a bathroom. Comprehensive appointments include security systems, integrated indoor and outdoor sound, multi-zone ducted heating and cooling, hydronic heating, a substantial laundry, and a guest powder room, all within a landmark position, with the design depth and adaptability to support it for generations to come. Land size: 312sqm (approx).
