Grand and inviting from the moment you step over the threshold, this red brick Edwardian on 388sqm exudes the rich heritage befitting its location on one of Albert Park's original stately boulevards of the Emerald Hill Precinct. Respectfully renovated from top to bottom, this dual living residence with off street parking and bonus city views yields modern comfort while flawlessly preserving its heritage soul. Uncompromisingly, the residence both retains and extends its Edwardian adornments throughout with tessellated tiles, master crafted stained glass windows, iron fireplaces, soaring ceilings with ornate plaster, fretwork and joinery. Easy to love and appreciate, this impressive home boasts twin lounge and dining rooms through to a vast family zone illuminated by edge to edge glazing that opens wide onto the private brick-paved gardens. A stone kitchen sits at the heart of the home, seamlessly connecting the formal with the daily zones and is appointed with 900mm gas cooking and terrific storage. Three matching bathrooms (one with spa) host five bedrooms across the ground and first floors with the upper level enjoying perfectly framed city views. Benefitting from the meticulous maintenance of house-proud owners, the home also features a family sized fitted laundry, off street parking for one (with easy potential for two) via Johnson Lane, gas ducted heating and RC/AC. Couched in pocket that's full of life with something for every mood in every direction.
