Victorian Grace, Hidden Space & Studio Above the Garden
Tucked quietly back from the street, this Victorian terrace unfolds like a well-kept secret. Beyond its classic façade lies a surprisingly generous interior—one that balances old-world character with a calm, contemporary sensibility and a separate studio. Ornate details nod to the home’s heritage, including lofty decorative ceilings, polished hardwood floors, and a generously wide, arched hallway.
Beautifully presented throughout, it features three generously sized bedrooms—two with open fireplaces, and the main featuring built-in robes and a ceiling fan. Bathed in northern light, the open plan living and dining area offers a warm, inviting space that effortlessly connects to the separate kitchen and meals zone. Thoughtfully appointed with a gas stovetop, dishwasher, appliance cabinet and ample storage, the kitchen is as functional as it is stylish and there is an updated bathroom with shower over bath.
Beyond, a spacious and private high-walled courtyard garden offers a peaceful outdoor escape and direct access to a remote carport. Tucked above, a versatile first-floor studio or fourth bedroom with ensuite adds flexibility—ideal as a guest retreat, home office or creative space.
Added features include gas ducted heating, split system heating and cooling, separate laundry and storage.
In a prime city-fringe location with trams at the doorstep, this home is moments from Princes Park, Rathdowne Village, Lygon Street, major universities and hospitals. Zoned to the sought-after Princes Hill Primary and Secondary Schools, it offers easy access to everything that makes inner-north living so appealing.

Seller Review
Janine Ballantyne made the whole experience of
Janine Ballantyne made the whole experience of selling my house one in which I felt totally supported. It was not only her knowledge of the market, expertise in setting a price range and advice on presentation, it was also her qualities of patience, responsiveness to and understanding of the range of emotions that come with selling your house. Together, these qualities and her knowledge led to an outcome beyond my expectations. I was extremely happy.
