23 Bridport Street
South Melbourne

Owning a prestigious Emerald Hill address along one of the area's premier tree-lined streets, this magnificent balconied period residence exudes warmth and timeless elegance, with northern city aspects, secure parking via ROW and an ultra-connected inner-city locale.

Offered for the first time in nearly three decades, its stained glass details, iron lace balcony and leafy surrounds lead into an expansive, light-filled layout, with generous living and dining zones warmed by a gas log fire. French doors on either side draw in lovely garden outlooks and natural light, leading to the rear kitchen with stainless steel detailing, Miele appliances and an integrated dishwasher. Timber-framed glass sliders open fully to a wraparound paved courtyard, a sun-drenched and private setting elevated by low-maintenance garden beds, with a shed and gated access for bringing in a car off the street.

Bathed in all-day sun, the beautifully scaled main bedroom on the upper level captures sweeping skyline views by night, complete with built-in robes and a full-width balcony. Two additional bedrooms with built-in robes share a central bathroom with laundry facilities, while a separate powder room, ducted heating and ample storage add everyday ease. With the best of inner Melbourne on the doorstep, it’s just a short stroll to local dining, shopping and tram links, with Albert Park Village, MSAC, Albert Park Lake, South Melbourne Market, the Arts Precinct, Royal Botanic Gardens and elite schools all within easy reach.
