A rare inner city offering of style, substance and outstanding space, this double fronted Victorian with architect renovation has created a luxurious four-bedroom two-bathroom home on a remarkable 432sqm garden parcel near Ripponlea Village. Perfectly private in a quiet heritage street, its freestanding single level proportions offer tremendous family appeal in a vibrant lifestyle location surrounded by leading schools and a host of other amenities. Behind its charming c.1890 façade, glorious original rooms showcase all the romance of their era with high rose ceilings, tall double sash windows and multiple magnificent OFPs. At the rear, a stunning Volakas marble kitchen creates a fabulous focal point for two separate living areas gazing out over alfresco entertaining areas and the sun filled northern garden. Super smart accommodation opens with a wide central hall and three oversized bedrooms with BIRs and OFPs, the beautiful main finished with fully fitted WIR/storage and brand new designer ensuite. A refined sitting room with majestic OFP follows before north facing open plan living/dining areas and the expertly designed kitchen equipped with Smeg, Miele and Qasair appliances. A fourth bedroom doubles as an ideal home office with extensive storage and second garden access alongside the sophisticated family bathroom and powder room. Meticulously designed to be beautiful as well as functional, a long list of carefully considered extras includes a clever laundry with a wall of floor to ceiling built in storage, hydronic heating, spilt cooling, alarm system, premium Cavalier Bremworth 100% wool carpets, Signorino bathroom tiles, soft close cabinetry, outdoor “entertaining” WC, garden shed, workshop and secure double carport via rear ROW. Walk around the corner to Ripponlea Village cafes, shops and trains, Hotham Street buses to Wesley College and Brighton private schools, short stroll to Caulfield Grammar, Ripponlea Primary and Brighton Road trams, 15 minute walk to cosmopolitan Carlisle Street and Elsternwick’s renowned shops, restaurants, bars and Cinema and only a little further to Elsternwick Park and Golf Course, St Kilda Botanic Gardens, Bay beaches and much, much more. Brilliant!
