4 Napier Place
South Melbourne

Holding a prized lane-style position in Emerald Hill, this architecturally significant residence reveals a luxurious transformation behind its solid brick mid-1860s façade, enhanced by dual frontage, secure off-street parking and spectacular outlooks over the city skyline.

In vogue and entirely brand new, every surface has been rethought with style and light in mind. A traditional central hallway opens beneath soaring 3.3m ceilings, with wide-board engineered oak underfoot, leading to a ground-floor living room and two bedrooms with custom-built-in robes and a shared bathroom lit from above, featuring a skylit shower alongside a freestanding bath. A steel-framed glass-enclosed home office with an ornate fireplace doubles as a potential fourth bedroom, while the garden-view main bedroom sits privately to the rear, with a hidden sensor-lit walk-in robe, a lavish marble-detailed ensuite, and a private landscaped courtyard.

Upstairs is where this home truly comes alive. Open-plan living and dining connect to a north-facing terrace primed for outdoor entertaining, overlooking a spectacular 270-degree sweep of the city skyline. The kitchen is equipped with premium Neff and Miele appliances, including induction cooking, combi steam and convection ovens, a fully integrated fridge freezer, and a dishwasher, delivering performance without compromising design.

Impeccably finished, it is exceptionally appointed with full-height pivot doors, natural marble surfaces, double-glazed windows to the rear, alarm, CCTV, video intercom, Daikin multi-unit heating/cooling, solar panels, powder room, and a mudroom entry from a secure carport with an automated gate. Enjoying a blue-chip city-fringe position just moments from Albert Park Lake, St Vincent Gardens, South Melbourne Market and direct city transport links.
