Description: Set in a tree-lined boulevard, on the edge of the CBD, this classic c1873 double storey terrace boasting a proud history has been recently revamped and fully renovated to maximise the space & versatile layout to meet the needs of modern day living requirements. The property cleverly blends genuine Victorian character with contemporary improvements to further enhance its appeal as a quality living and/or a combined working/living environment to optimise the prime location and Mixed Use zoning. Previously occupied as a working space, it now presents a unique opportunity to secure a fabulous low-maintenance home with scope to capitalise on the versatile layout with a home business, consulting room or variety of other possible uses (STCA). One of three terraces built by prominent 19th-century developer, David Howat, it welcomes with high ornate ceilings, hardwood floors and exposed brickwork that complement a functional yet free-flowing layout. At the front is a bright sitting area and large living zone, both with cast iron fireplaces, while at the rear is a sleek stone-topped kitchen with quality fixtures (oven, cooktop, dishwasher), a skylit dining area and modern bathroom. Step outside to a tranquil rear courtyard that provides pedestrian access via Zeplin Place. Upstairs accommodation includes a generous retreat also with a fireplace, and two light-filled double bedrooms with built-in robes. The lower level offers a home office/teenage retreat/guest bedroom with whitewashed blue-stone walls. In addition, it features a separate laundry, an extra w/c and heating/cooling. Within metres of the iconic Victoria Market and Flagstaff Gardens, this unique residence is placed just a short stroll to Errol Street cafes, Victoria Street restaurants, a host of tram lines, Melbourne University, the hospital precinct, Flagstaff Station and University High School (zoned).
