70 Wilson Street
South Yarra

In a low-traffic position amid highly desirable lifestyle precincts, this magnificent, solid-brick, balconied Victorian residence has been architecturally transformed to deliver a designer interior of on-trend style and timeless sophistication, with a brilliant northern orientation and glistening urban views beyond.

Custom steel-framed doors and herringbone oak flooring bring a contemporary edge to the grandeur of soaring ceilings and the corbel-arched entry hall, guiding the eye through naturally lit proportions that connect three living areas within a flexible three or four-bedroom layout. A formal living room with a marble open fireplace, or an optional fourth bedroom, sits at the front, followed by a ground-floor guest bedroom and adjoining powder room, before the home opens to family, dining and entertaining zones at the rear. Lush outlooks feature at every turn, with French-pattern tumbled natural stone flooring flowing (with under floor heating) through the meals area, kitchen and study zone, complemented by built-in banquette seating, sleek benchtops and premium Neff appliances. Floor-to-ceiling vaulted glass and bi-fold doors open to a landscaped garden with magnolia, climbing roses and fig, while a mod-grass lawn and the progression of tumbled stone paving create a low maintenance inviting alfresco dining zone.

Upstairs, the main suite enjoys northern balcony views across South Yarra’s skyline, enhanced by double glazing, a walk-in robe, and an ensuite with underfloor heating and rich ceramic finishes. At the rear, the third bedroom sits alongside a rumpus area, ideal for children or guests, and a richly-appointed bathroom in the same earthy palette. Double glazing, Nest-controlled hydronic heating, split system air conditioning, keyless entry, European laundry, irrigation, ample storage, and an attic complete an exceptional inner-city lifestyle base, with Prahran Market, Hawksburn Station, trams, cafes, cinemas, Surrey Rd Park, and leading schools all within easy reach.
