23 Ferrars Place, South Melbourne, Vic 3205

With its characteristic wisteria-draped verandah and double-fronted façade, this mid-1800s home captures the grace of a bygone era while delivering contemporary living across two light-filled levels. 

Positioned in the sought-after Emerald Hill precinct steps from Albert Park Village, the light rail and moments from MSAC, it's an exciting entry into a coveted locale, where a peaceful leafy setting meets its surroundings' convenience and urban buzz. A central hallway with Baltic pine flooring and high ceilings introduces two spacious ground-floor bedrooms, including one with a wall of robes and semi-ensuite access into the main bathroom. Upstairs, the main bedroom suite boasts soaring timber-lined ceilings and plantation shutters, with a wall of built-in robes, walk-through robes and a stylish north-facing ensuite.

An indoor-outdoor sanctuary unfolds at the rear, where steel-framed windows open through the open-plan living and dining area onto a lush, low-maintenance courtyard. High fences and crazy paving afford a fantastic environment for entertaining, whilst the kitchen keeps the host connected with its stainless steel benchtops, central island, premium Smeg appliances, a Miele dishwasher, and a built-in dining table. In a quiet, tree-lined street, yet moments from cafes, restaurants, Clarendon Street, multiple tram routes, and Albert Park Lake, this home also offers reverse-cycle air conditioning, electric panel heating, abundant storage, a skylit laundry, and pedestrian right of way access.
