eclectic slate roofed single fronted Victorian
Love the fun, warmth and character filled charm within this eclectic 4 bedroom 2.5 bathroom slate roofed single fronted Victorian. Joyous with colour reflecting its origins, this surprisingly spacious abode retains its traditional elements including an arched hallway, Baltic pine floorboards, high ceilings with deep cornices, classic open fireplaces and its rambling staircase behind an exposed brick wall. A rarity with two courtyard areas, this homely treasure enjoys 2 large bedrooms downstairs (fireplaces), a striking shower room with powder room opposite; a mood-provoking living and dining room opening to the east-facing Japanese inspired courtyard garden; 2 sets of bi-fold doors to a north facing farmhouse style kitchen/meals with its cast iron enamel Waterford Stanley stove, farmhouse sink, slim line dishwasher and 2nd oven; and an external laundry with 3rd toilet. A sun drenched alfresco deck is the life of the party in complete privacy with a pedestrian gate to the rear lane. Upstairs enjoys 2 big bedrooms sharing a modern spa ensuite and urban views. Warm with hydronic heating and 2 hot water services (one continuous), it's a gorgeous infusion of enchantment and modern day comfort. In the gentle quiet of East Melbourne's parkside landscape, opposite Powlett Reserve, close to the hype of activity in Smith Street Collingwood, Brunswick Street Fitzroy, Victoria Street Richmond and the cosmopolitan action of Melbourne's beloved CBD, enjoy blissful walks around Fitzroy Gardens, catch the tram on Victoria Parade, or the train at North Richmond station. Love knowing you can walk to the MCG and Melbourne Park, RMIT and the University of Melbourne it's all here in this peaceful heritage streetscape.
