Magnificent Victorian Italianate home directly opposite Royal Park
Exclusively perched in Parkville’s prestigious Golden Triangle, directly opposite Royal Park, this magnificent double storey Victorian home boasts a sumptuous custom renovation that caters for luxury inner-city living. Blending Italianate grandeur and sympathetic modern style, the spacious indoor/outdoor design showcases high-end appointments and breathtaking parkland views.
Built as one of two landmark residences, the statuesque façade reveals an opulent formal lounge (or bedroom) and plush bathroom off the hallway. At the heart of the home is a gourmet marble kitchen with a 900mm Smeg oven, gas cooktop, DishDrawer, integrated Liebherr fridge/freezer and vast cabinetry.
Maximising space and light at the back is a large living and dining area with a Cheminees Philippe fireplace, and deluxe sunken retreat with towering bookshelves. Step outdoors to a gorgeous elevated terrace, ideal for entertaining in private and peaceful surrounds. Beneath a stained glass skylight, the staircase leads to a huge main bedroom with built-in robes and access to the gracious north-facing balcony overlooking Royal Park. Nearby are two generous bedrooms and a stunning Caesarstone bathroom with a bath and shower.
Features include a wine cellar, hydronic heating, high ceilings with ornate cornices and rosettes, four cast iron fireplaces, polished floorboards, temperature-controlled water, heated towel rails and ROW pedestrian access to Redpath Rise. This incredible home is also placed walking distance to Melbourne University, the hospital precinct, Lygon Street restaurants, vibrant Errol Street and CBD trams, as well as University High School (zoned) and the future Parkville station.
