Commanding a prominent Emerald Hill address opposite MSAC and the open expanse of Albert Park Lake, this illustrious c1869 solid brick Victorian terrace has been beautifully refined, offering light-filled modernity and a first-class lifestyle amongst a tree-lined, one-way street. Elevated by a recent and thoughtful renovation, wide-board light-oak engineered floors, high ceilings, and generous proportions form a layout that is both traditional and inviting, drawing on a northern aspect and garden views from every room.

A grand arched hallway introduces a formal living room with an open fireplace, leading through to a central dining room that extends north via French doors to a herringbone-paved red brick courtyard, capturing all-day sun. A separate meals area, also opening east to the same courtyard, flows through to a tastefully appointed kitchen with all-Smeg appliances, including integrated refrigeration, enhanced by a skylight overhead, and a bright northern aspect to the rear.

A skylit staircase with luxurious loop-pile carpet rises to the upper level, where accommodation is arranged in distinct wings. The rear wing houses a spacious bedroom with built-in storage, served by a classic bathroom with a shower over bath. To the front, a second bedroom boasts built-in robes, with the main bedroom affording space and sanctuary, complete with an ornate fireplace, an additional living retreat within the room and evergreen, park-facing outlooks from the full-width balcony.

Positioned within walking distance of the light rail, multiple city-bound tram routes, South Melbourne Market, Albert Park Village, and leading schools, this long-held residence delivers instant lifestyle success, with further highlights including hydronic heating, an alarm system, brand-new flooring, pedestrian ROW access, excellent storage, a ground-floor second bathroom, and European laundry.
