75 Napier Street

Within the historic former Eastern Road Primary School, this architect-transformed three-bedroom plus study residence reveals a series of gallery-like interiors defined by soaring proportions, refined materiality and remarkable privacy, framed by deep landscaped grounds beside Heather Street Park. At the front, a sun-drenched garden offers a tranquil morning retreat, ideal for reading or quiet enjoyment in a private, leafy setting. A landscaped garden entry introduces an oversized custom steel door and a dramatic foyer, immediately drawing focus to original elements, including a wide bluestone staircase and steel balustrade. As the layout ascends, sensor lighting traces the movement upward to a first-floor guest bedroom with built-in robes and an adjoining bathroom, before the ceiling height rises again to approximately 15ft, revealing an expansive living, dining, and kitchen domain extending across the full width of the home. Leafy outlooks across established peppercorn trees and distant city lights enhance the connection to a terrace set within the original slate roofline, with views stretching over the park. Stainless steel benchtops and St. George appliances define the kitchen, while concertina doors allow the dining and preparation zones to be opened or closed as required, with French doors opening the living area to a rear balcony with access to communal gardens below. A sunken study with bespoke joinery captures northern light, and above, two separate wings reached by their own staircases each introduce a bedroom with full-height storage and ensuite access, one oriented to the city skyline and the other appointed with a generous walk-in robe. With hydronic heating, ducted air-conditioning, powder room, attic storage, a dedicated laundry, secure two-car parking on title, plus a shared guest parking space between you and the neighbouring residence, and expansive under-stair storage offering exceptional versatility, ideal as a wine cellar or substantial additional storage space, the address places Anzac Station, the Domain precinct, Royal Botanic Gardens, South Melbourne Market, trams and leading schools within close proximity, securing a position at the centre of Melbourne's most coveted inner-city landscape.
