46 Grattan Street

Beautifully reimagined, maximising its expansive space with remarkable attention to detail, this substantial 4 or 5 bedroom immaculately renovated balcony terrace is a vast and flexible, city-edge sanctuary that's perfectly private and quiet. Enviably positioned between the Carlton Gardens and Lygon Street with University High School zoning, an extra-wide Victorian façade reflects the impressive scale of a stunning 2-level interior where a superbly balanced layout and multiple outdoor areas, including 2 powder rooms, create coveted family flexibility complemented by a range of luxury appointments. A double-arched hallway immediately signals the calibre of the home's impeccable renewal with the extensive ground-level launched by French door access to a versatile sitting room, home office or a professional consulting space (STCA) with cupboards and a fireplace (gas connection) that's also a potential 5th bedroom. Next along is great-sized bedroom (BIRs, FP) adjoining a light well (with a shower!) before a powder room, European laundry and a stylish light-filled bathroom with custom storage. Located upstairs is a large additional bathroom (bathtub/walk-in shower/double basin) plus a second powder room that are conveniently central to a huge front bedroom (BIRs, OFP) opening to a city-view balcony, additional bedroom (BIRs, OFP) and a sensational rear bedroom (BIRs) opening to a custom-built treetop balcony with a leafy northwest-facing outlook. Separated at the rear behind a full-height cavity sliding door, is a large and light-filled family zone where living and dining areas, along with a premium, sky-lit Miele-equipped stone kitchen (Ceran cooktop, oven, dishwasher) with pantry storage, open through dual double-doors to a north-oriented landscaped oasis with an entertainment terrace and low-upkeep plantings for secluded outdoor enjoyment. Superior-quality features of this comprehensively-insulated, 6-star energy rated home include extensive double-glazing, hydronic heating, individual zoned air-conditioning, security alarm, video intercom, CCTV surveillance, wide oak timber floorboards, block-out blinds and drapes, mood lighting, garden shed, retractable utilities screen plus 2 residential parking permits.
