23 Cobden Street
South Melbourne

On the cusp of the CBD and within easy walking distance of Clarendon Street dining, this renovated and extended Victorian residence makes the most of its hidden, sun-lit position, offering a quiet reprieve from the energy of its urban surroundings.

Elevated from the street and benefitting from a sun-filled northwestern aspect, the property unfolds beyond its traditional facade to a contemporary haven, enlightened and updated for modern-day ease. High square-set ceilings promote indoor and outdoor flow, opening from the living and dining domains to the broad decked courtyard, met with high-walled privacy. A well-appointed kitchen with natural marble and stainless-steel benchtops capture the space, with a well-zoned layout comprising three spacious bedrooms, including the upper-level main with a balcony and large en-suite bathroom. Upstairs bedrooms include built-in robes, accompanied by a ground-floor full-sized bathroom, laundry facilities and secure bicycle storage in the courtyard accessed from the lane.

Within a short stroll to Albert Park Lake, MSAC, the Domain Precinct and Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne’s Arts & Entertainment Precinct, ANZAC station and multiple tram options as follows: St Kilda Rd, No. 1 (Sth Melb/East Coburg) and No. 58 (West Coburg to Toorak), this exceptional home offers a no-fuss approach to inner-city living close to a wealth of amenities, complete with hardwood timber floors, split system air conditioning, and secure access to a ROW.
