17 Madden Street

Relishing a dress-circle position in the heart of Albert Park village, this exquisite c1890 Victorian terrace presents four bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and sweeping city views across a brilliantly curated contemporary revival of original period proportions. Introduced by a secure, elevated garden entry, northern light draws through interiors where richly toned spotted gum floors extend along a grand arched hall with soaring ceilings. The formal sitting room, with an integrated desk and bespoke joinery, supports harmonious family living, flowing into the second, more expansive living and dining area, which connects directly to the central kitchen, appointed with a solid stone island, a Miele dishwasher, and Smeg cooking appliances. Banks of skylights flood the entire room with light, and French doors allow easy indoor-outdoor entertainment, opening to a decked courtyard with integrated seating and rear pedestrian access. Impressive proportions continue upstairs, with the main bedroom commanding city panoramas from a wisteria-framed balcony, enriched by a marble open fireplace, a private ensuite, and extensive storage, including a walk-in robe. Three further robed bedrooms are served by two additional bathrooms, including an ensuite to the upper level, plus a well-appointed laundry and a guest powder room. Ducted heating and cooling, an underground cellar, under-stair storage, an attic, a shed, and video security complement a move-in ready lifestyle, mere steps from the city-bound light rail, village cafes, boutiques and restaurants, and within easy walking distance of MSAC, Albert Park Primary School, Albert Park College, the beach and the lake precinct.
