Embracing its three frontages to create distance from neighbours, bring light inside, and stand as its own haven away from the world, this de.arch reimagining of a classic corner Victorian represents luxury at its most adaptable. With Vine Street’s ornamental pears, a white-picket fence, and crepe myrtle garden setting the scene, interiors blend craftsmanship, proportion, flexibility, and entertainment prowess to be the environment every family dreams of.

Bespoke joinery shows the sheer detail, a green backdrop brings a sense of calm, terrazzo and marble adorned bathrooms, and Fior di Pesco Marble anchors a palette full of flair and chic, complementing a layout shaped around the everyday. Soaring ceilings and Woodcut oak floors guide a welcoming hallway to a rear domain tying everything together, with fireside living and dining areas perfect counterparts to a Siemens, ILVE, Smeg, and Fisher & Paykel kitchen with an oversized butler’s area. With French doors merging inside and out, a decked alfresco boasts a plumbed outdoor kitchen to take every event in its stride, spilling out to a low-maintenance backyard for kids to claim as their own.

A sizeable guest room, office/bedroom, and central bathroom are joined downstairs by a scintillating master with its own custom bedhead, elegant ensuite, and dressing room boasting floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, while above, wall-to-wall robes, study desks, and a luxe third bathroom serve bedrooms four and five. An open retreat is ideal for teenagers to escape to, stepping onto a wrap-around terrace for drinks taking in the night-time city lights.

Other highlights include an upstairs daybed for lounging in northern sun, chilled/boiling/sparkling Billi tap, 100% wool carpets, abundant storage, a mudroom, marble-top laundry, zoned heating/cooling, 3-phase power, integrated speakers, LED backlighting, camera/alarm security, and various original features, while a garage makes the most of dual-lane frontage. As exceptional a home as its pocket has seen, it’s only metres to Moonee Ponds Primary (zoned), Ormond Park, the creek trail, CityLink, the hospital/university-bound 59 Tram, and cuisine, shopping, and nightlife of Puckle Street and Mt Alexander Road, with elite private schools close by.
