Residence 4/249 Beaconsfield Parade, Middle Park, Vic 3206

Enter via Ashworth Street.

Converted from its historic warehouse origins into an architect-designed family home spanning three brilliant levels, this three-bedroom, contemporary residence represents architectural ingenuity in arguably Middle Park's most tightly-held beachside positions. Steps from the beach, yet discreetly positioned in a highly-regarded bluestone laneway with secure parking for two, it's mere moments away from Middle Park's village cafes and retail boutiques, zoned for the area's leading schools and offers unbeatable proximity to trams, the light rail, MSAC and Albert Park Lake. 

Interiors defined by privacy and natural light link harmoniously throughout a well-considered floor plan, revealing three spacious robed bedrooms, two on the entry-level beside a central bathroom and one on the lower level adjoining a substantial living area. Upstairs, the open-plan living and dining area is where the indoor-outdoor flow hits its mark, opening to a broad north-east terrace via a wall of bi-fold doors inviting year-round alfresco enjoyment with two automatic awnings overhead. Beautifully landscaped with irrigated garden walls and built-in seating, it's the perfect complement to the oversized kitchen, fully appointed with European appliances, ample pantry space and sleek stone benchtops. 

Zoned for Middle Park Primary School and Albert Park College, and with easy public transport access within a few steps and endless summers by the bay your new everyday, this excellent hideaway also features keyless fob entry, an independent and secure entrance via Ashworth Street, video intercom, reverse-cycle heating and cooling, powder room, European laundry, bespoke storage at every turn and internal access via the remote-control basement garage.
