Albert Park

An insight to Albert Park's past as a hard working, hard living bayside precinct dependent to a large extent on waterfront activity is provided by this uniquely original Victorian. Long before the area assumed the exceptional residential status it enjoys today, this classical cottage was a modest inner city home where two bedrooms led to a central living room, separate dining, a functional kitchen and a basic bathroom. Remarkably, the spaces remain entirely unchanged today. Beyond, a sunny north westerly rear courtyard garden concludes not only with a pedestrian right of way but also with an archetypal 'dunny' in the back corner that is still this property's only toilet. Quite possibly the most original, untouched residence left in Albert Park - certainly amongst the location's most pure examples of potential. A totally tempting project close to MSAC, Mills Street trams. Middle Park Primary School and the beach.
