220 Danks Street, Albert Park, Vic 3206

Simply breathtaking from every corner, the transformation and architectural refinement of this magnificent Edwardian residence has resulted in an extraordinary generational family home where state-of-the-art contemporary style merges seamlessly with period elegance and grandeur. Within utterly stunning garden and pool surrounds, with a second frontage to Ashworth Street, a double garage and interiors by the late and acclaimed Australian designer Stuart Rattle, it is simply unmatched in scale and level of finish. 

Formal landscaped gardens of picturesque beauty precede the interior, where exquisite craftsmanship and thoughtful details create a harmonious connection to the outdoors. In the library, an ornate ceiling and rose-patterned leadlight bay window reflect the garden’s floral artistry, enhanced by the warmth of an open fireplace. Rich oak floors and high ceilings guide the flow to the formal dining room, striking with its ornate detail, and the serene main bedroom, featuring a skylit marble ensuite, a walk-in robe, and a gas fireplace that extends to a peaceful heated patio.

Adjacent to a guest bedroom, expansive living spaces open through French doors and vast panes of glass to lush greenery and an alfresco terrace with an in-built BBQ, offering a private sanctuary beside the large, fully-automated swimming pool. A sleek entertainer’s kitchen with stone benches and Miele appliances, including two dishwashers, complements the custom banquette dining area, while a sumptuous living room with a roaring fireplace frames verdant aspects at every turn.

The gallery hall envelops the central pool and its gardens, drawing in natural light through French doors and extending gracefully to the rear wing, passing the integrated study and powder room. Upstairs, three substantial bedrooms, a marble bathroom, and twin balconies capture sweeping city views. At the same time, the lower-level recreation room, complete with a kitchenette, delivers an independent and versatile space that opens to the garden.

Positioned within metres to the beach in a highly-regarded and wide tree-lined street zoned for Albert Park College and Middle Park Primary, it is comprehensively appointed with an alarm, Italian marble finishes throughout, ducted heating and vacuum system, refrigerated reverse-cycle air conditioning, storage-rich laundry, outdoor lighting and irrigation, 6kw solar power, a subterranean billiards room/wine cellar, and integrated indoor-outdoor sound.
