**PLEASE ENJOY A FULL UNCUT PROPERTY TOUR PRESENTED BY ADRIANO PERSICHETTI** **OPEN THIS THURSDAY 16TH JULY AT 5:45PM - 6:15PM & SATURDAY 18TH JULY AT 1:15PM - 1:45PM** "Some homes are built to code. This one is built to a different standard altogether - where every material, every finish, and every system was chosen to last, to perform and to impress" - from the owner. Introducing 35B Madeline Street, Preston - a brand new, architecturally refined townhouse that sets a new benchmark for contemporary living in Melbourne's inner north. Spread across two light-filled levels and occupying a commanding position on a 272 m² block, this is the rare new build that genuinely delivers on every promise - where the photography doesn't have to do the heavy lifting because the home itself does all the talking. The façade makes a bold first impression: pale textured brick, rich timber-slatted garage door, and dramatic dark-framed windows strike a balance between warmth and precision. Step through the front door and the herringbone-laid engineered oak flooring sets the tone - laid across both the ground and first floors, it creates a seamless, sophisticated canvas that runs the full length of the home. At the heart of the ground floor, the open-plan living, dining and kitchen zone is genuinely generous - anchored by a sleek gas fireplace and flooded with natural light from full-height sliding doors that dissolve the boundary between indoors and the private alfresco courtyard. The kitchen is a study in understated elegance: matte charcoal cabinetry, a waterfall stone island bench, integrated Electrolux appliances including a dishwasher, and a stone-effect splashback that catches light without demanding attention. A floating staircase with glass balustrade turns the transition to the upper level into an architectural moment in itself. Upstairs, a generous second living or family retreat provides a flexible space ideal for a media room, children's area, or quiet reading lounge - a feature that separates this home from single-living-zone alternatives. The master bedroom is a genuine sanctuary: corner windows frame treetop views, the walk-in robe is walk-in by more than name, and the ensuite is finished in floor-to-ceiling stone-look tiles with a freestanding fluted bath, walk-in rain shower, and premium brushed nickel tapware. Three additional bedrooms - one ground floor with its own built-in robe, ideal as a guest room or home office - are all served by beautifully appointed bathrooms with dual vanities and ceiling-mounted rain showers. The study or entry nook at the front of the home adds thoughtful practicality - a dedicated workspace or arrival zone that keeps the main living areas composed and clutter-free.
