123 Albert Street, Windsor, Vic 3181

A genuinely unique offering in one of urban Melbourne’s most highly regarded and tightly held positions, ‘May Val’ was originally utilized by Cobb and Co as a rest station for its horses. Creating a captivating, double-fronted street presence, the home has been renovated and extended upstairs to reveal three bedrooms, an independently accessed office and sundrenched north-facing alfresco entertaining, all in a coveted location merely metres from the vibrancy of Chapel Street.
Set on rock-solid bluestone foundations, the home opens to reveal soaring ceilings, leadlight windows and polished Blackbutt flooring as it culminates in a light-filled, open-plan kitchen / dining / living where the flow to a sunny paved courtyard is seamless and set under a retractable awning for year-round entertaining. What was once a formal dining room now serves beautifully as an independently accessed home office with its own undercover courtyard but offers wonderful flexibility.
The bedrooms are each generously sized – two with built-in robes and traditional fireplaces – plus there is a classically styled central bathroom with a double basin vanity. Further highlights include a large laundry with powder room, volumes of storage throughout - including under the stairs – plus there are two garden sheds, convenient side pedestrian laneway access, permit parking for three vehicles, split system heating and air conditioning.
Perfectly situated to immerse yourself in all things Chapel Street, this is an urban classic, with multiple nearby trams, trains from Windsor Railway Station and buses along Punt Road, as well as easy access to the vast open spaces of Albert Park Lake.
