47 Studley Street, Abbotsford, Vic 3067

The sought-after vibrancy and serenity of riverside Abbotsford is brilliantly reflected in the stunning Tom Eckersley Architects’ transformation of this beautiful 2 bedroom terrace. Beyond a classic façade on a quiet heritage street, this meticulously renovated residence takes inner-city living to where it’s meant to be. Blending Victorian character with high-end sophistication culminating in a light and airy, open-planned zone overlooking lush rear landscaped garden. An arched hallway framed by clean lines and oak floors leads to 2 oversized bedrooms, each thoughtfully fitted with split-system air-conditioning and generous built-in robes, with the front capturing northern light and the second opening out to a garden path. Central is a beautifully-appointed and Velux sky-lit bathroom incorporating ample storage, frameless-glass shower and a European laundry before the surprisingly spacious, single-level layout seamlessly transitions with sublime effect to reveal an architecturally striking rear extension. With its soaring raked ceiling, whitewashed feature brick wall and extensive double-glazing creating a remarkable sense of volume and light, this large open space is launched by a Smeg and Bosch-equipped designer kitchen including automated soft-touch cabinetry where a dining table island and deep bench space extend to a superb living room. Indoor-outdoor entertaining is a breeze with wide stacker doors connecting to a leafy courtyard framed by tropical greenery that offers a peaceful retreat for relaxed enjoyment with its undercover alfresco deck plus handy rear ROW. Impeccably expanded with creative architectural flair, this sensational city-edge home embodies the perfect fusion of period elegance and contemporary excellence, delivering an outstanding lifestyle in a coveted Abbotsford pocket only moments to tranquil Yarra River trails, the Convent Arts Precinct, fabulous cafes, bars, restaurants, schools, trams and Collingwood train station.
