198 Pickles Street
South Melbourne

Unleashing a lifestyle of thriving urban vitality in an authentic inner-suburban setting that sits right on the city’s southern fringe, this traditional two bedroom Victorian cottage has been extended at the rear while also offering compelling scope for further renewal at your leisure (STCA). Part of a proudly preserved pocket of similar period homes, the residence is merely moments from all the action of Southbank, Clarendon Street and even the CBD, while South Melbourne Market is also comfortably walkable.

Beyond its classical façade, the home reveals soaring ceilings, an arched hallway and fine period detail refreshed by recent paintwork and fresh carpets before flowing through a skylit kitchen / meals to a rear lounge / dining that is also skylit and effortlessly connected to the backyard. Echoing its rich heritage, the home also offers a fireplace in one of the lofty bedrooms, as well as an ornamental fireplace in the kitchen / meals and a large bathroom / laundry.

This is a coveted location surrounded by an endless selection of local cafes, restaurants, bars, nightlife and plenty of shopping both along Bay Street and at Clarendon Street, plus you have Gasworks Park and the waterfront just down the street, South Melbourne Market nearby, city-bound trams and the light rail nearby if you decide not to walk to Southbank or the CBD.
