‘Grace Darling’ c1892 – glorious Darling Gardens grandeur

The grand Victorian Italianate façade of ‘Grace Darling’ c1892 is a landmark directly opposite Darling Gardens revealing a stunning renovation, inground pool oasis and city views. Prominently positioned at one of inner-Melbourne’s most prestigious dress-circle addresses, this magnificent freestanding residence spans 3 striking levels of zoned light-filled space opening to a series of beautifully landscaped alfresco areas on a 435 sqm allotment (approx.) with secure off-street parking. Rich history meets cutting-edge design in this spectacular reimagining of heritage grandeur opposite the Darling Gardens from architect Damien Bonnice. ‘Grace Darling’ is a showcase of refined elegance and remarkable style in a premier South Terrace setting launched by an arched hallway leading to a superb sitting room/bedroom (marble open fireplace) and a formal dining room. A tranquil courtyard with entertainment deck is central to a large Smeg and AEG-appointed gourmet kitchen with a café-window breakfast bar and a sophisticated fireside living room surrounded by dual bifolds doors that also open to a gas-heated tiled pool and garden sanctuary. A basement level home theatre is fully fitted offering an amazing cinematic experience while top-floor family flexibility with 3 separate park and city-view balconies features a rear teen/multi-generational retreat (bedroom, ensuite, study, lounge, kitchenette) and 3 further bedrooms (glorious park-side main with ensuite) complemented by a family bathroom with a spa bath. Also includes a powder room, laundry, subfloor wine cellar, hydronic heating, split-system air-conditioning, alarm system, polished floorboards and marvellous period adornment throughout. ‘Grace Darling’ with its extra-wide frontage and illustrious profile on the park is a picture of impeccably enhanced excellence with first-class lifestyle credentials offering unparalleled access to Queens Parade cafes, city-edge shopping precincts, trams, train station and schools.
