Sights & Serenity, Inner-City Amenity

Behind the endearing façade of a c1887 landmark, the expertly reimagined ‘Pumphouse’ complex plays host to this bright, spacious, and refined residence embracing the verve and vibrancy of city-fringe living.

Savouring sights across the suburb’s heartland in Arden Street Oval, the home’s workable plan and upscale fit-out make daily life a joy, with two large bedrooms accompanied by abundant robe storage and a central bathroom with an integrated laundry. With premium appliances, a stone worktop, and walk-in pantry enhancing a first-rate kitchen, broad living and dining zones spill into a terrace enclosed by a pull-down blind, perfect for a quiet coffee listening to the birds or a night-time drink alongside friends. Having received a recent revamp, the abode’s other highlights include engineered oak floors, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, an intercom, basement car space, and private storeroom on the same level as the home.

Steps to Arden Gardens shops, North Melbourne Recreation Centre, the local dog park, tranquil Royal Park, and the evergreen buzz of Errol, Leveson, Queensberry, and Victoria Streets, while a short tram, train, or bike ride to hospitals, universities, Queen Victoria Market, and the city centre.
