Step inside this Victorian terrace to see a cleverly transformed residence that strikes a refined balance between old and new. A deceptively generous architect-designed home that retains its charming cast-iron picket fence and tuck-pointed brick facade before revealing an inspired and stylish contemporary interior. The home’s three levels are discreetly hidden from the street and will appeal to the most discerning buyers seeking a prestigious and quintessential inner-city home offering a flexible range of living options for any family. The ground floor provides seamless open- plan living centered around the gourmet kitchen appointed with a stunning waterfall edge island bench, marble benchtops, sleek cabinetry including an appliance cabinet and the best European electric appliances. The living space extends to a private courtyard ready for entertaining (with gas, power, and water connections) that has the added convenience of secured laneway access. Completing the ground floor is a bedroom (already fitted with built-in robes) that adjoins the entry and can easily become a home-office / study, luxurious bathroom and family-sized laundry with plenty of storage. On the first floor are two robed bedrooms including one with its own glorious ensuite, a full-size central bathroom and a convenient work /study zone adjoining the light well. The upper level offers a flexible space that can be used as a bedroom, alternate living/media zone or WFH studio. This home was only competed in 2018 and built to exacting standards with premium features including solid timber polished floorboards throughout, exposed brick hallway, 2700 mm (9 ft) ground floor ceilings, bathrooms all with stone benchtops and ceiling rain showers, smart in-built storage, heating / cooling, cable ports and security intercom. Every contemporary living need has been thoughtfully considered so you can move in and immediately enjoy North Melbourne’s enviable lifestyle. This home is perfectly positioned within easy walking distance of University High School, North Melbourne Primary (both campuses), Melbourne University, Errol Street retail and dining precinct, neighborhood parks and several high-frequency tram and bus routes connected to key destinations. It is already clear why North Melbourne is ranked in Melbourne's Top 10 Most Livable suburbs but with two new Metro stations set to open in 2025 within 700 m of 156 Curzon Street, it is only going to become even better.
