161 Kerferd Road, Albert Park, Vic 3206

Juxtaposing architectural excellence with the grandeur of Victorian architecture, this solid brick four-bedroom residence owns one of Melbourne’s most coveted addresses, mere steps from the beach and Albert Park Village. Transformed by McMahon and Nerlich with outdoor spaces by landscape designer Ben Scott, this home is designed to maximise light and space, culminating in a showstopping rooftop terrace where uninterrupted Port Phillip Bay and city views unfold in every direction.

A lovingly maintained front courtyard with tessellated tiling and Boston ivy-clad high-walled privacy opens into the exceptional interior, where interconnecting living and dining spaces are curated to maximise light and flow. Enhanced by a north-facing bay window, ornate corbel archway and richly-stained hardwood flooring, it perfectly balances period grandeur and contemporary design, down to the original marble mantles, now home to Ecosmart gas fireplaces. Open-plan living and dining follow a gallery of custom joinery, extending fully to the landscaped rear garden afforded by walls of glass and high ceilings. An accompanying natural marble kitchen with a suite of Miele integrated appliances and adjoining butler’s pantry with incredible storage are a host's dream, offering unbeatable alfresco fluidity and light-filled privacy for unforgettable entertaining. Upstairs, the north-facing main suite boasts double-glazed access to the city-view balcony, a walk-through fitted robe and a dual vanity ensuite. This is matched by two additional robed bedrooms and a main bathroom on the same level, complemented by a versatile top-floor space with an ensuite bathroom, living room/guest bedroom and a breathtaking rooftop terrace. 

A peerless addition and the only home on this section of Kerferd Road with a rooftop, its incredible bay-to-city vista over the ornate brick facade is genuinely one of a kind. Positioned within the Albert Park College and Middle Park Primary School catchments, and mere steps from the beach, the 96 light rail, MSAC, and Albert Park Village, this home offers a premium lifestyle, complete with hydronic heating, a powder room, European Laundry, zoned reverse-cycle heating/cooling, an in-built rooftop BBQ, wine storage, ROW laneway access, garden storage, alarm system, and video intercom entry.
