399 Princes Street

With parkland at the doorstep, a northeastern rear aspect and the city only minutes away, this beautifully renovated Victorian offers a lifestyle few addresses can rival. Beyond its traditional solid-brick façade, a dual-level extension and intelligent redesign have maximised every inch of the original footprint, creating a light-filled contemporary space that capitalises on its prized orientation and delivers exceptional low-maintenance appeal in a highly sought-after city-edge setting. Richly-toned timber floors flow throughout the ground floor, introducing a gracious living room enhanced by a gas fireplace, decorative cornices and designer lighting. To the rear, a sleek stone kitchen, appointed with integrated refrigeration and quality Fisher & Paykel appliances, including a DishDrawer, is complemented by a scullery/laundry and extensive pantry storage. Overlooking the adjoining meals area, it presents a sensational seasonal transition zone, with bi-fold doors that open to a generously proportioned paved courtyard, perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining, complete with pedestrian access via the rear right-of-way. Upstairs comprises two bedrooms with built-in robes, including a light-filled main bedroom with a sunny outlook and custom window seat, supported by a stylish central bathroom featuring a skylight, twin shower and full-height hexagonal tiling. Additional features include split-system heating and cooling, double glazing to the rear, a powder room, abundance of storage, and multiple skylights, whilst the first-class position between Sangster and Smith Reserves places you within steps of the city-bound light rail, and a short walk from Bay Street's renowned cafes and restaurants, South Melbourne Market, excellent schools and the beach.
