253 Montague Street
South Melbourne

Brimming with vitality on the fringe of Albert Park Village, this single-level, freestanding, two-bedroom Victorian cottage is immediately enticing with its sun-drenched layout, yet offers compelling scope for further renewal at your leisure (STCA). Embracing a sense of ease within a wide tree-lined street, yet positioned within a short walk to the light rail and South Melbourne Market, it is defined by its freestanding poise, prized address and unmissable potential.

Beyond its classic façade, high ceilings, an arched hallway and fine period detail are accentuated by modern touches and an inviting indoor-outdoor connection. Two generously-sized bedrooms highlight period proportions, both with built-in robes and sharing a bright bathroom and a huge laundry with a WC and ample storage. A large living room with split system heating/cooling sits central to the floor plan, with a wood burning open fireplace and direct light-well access, flowing to a well-appointed kitchen and dining domain at the rear, with al-fresco connections to the broad, courtyard garden offering high-walled privacy.

Surrounded by an endless selection of cafes, restaurants, bars, and boutique shopping options, including the Clarendon Street precinct, and within a short walk to South Melbourne Market, MSAC, St Vincent Gardens, Albert Park Lake and excellent schools, it provides an instantly appealing setting with the scope to grow (STCA).
