78 Bridport Street

Entirely transformed beyond its classic, c1880 Victorian terrace facade, this high-quality three-bedroom designer home delivers north-facing garden serenity across two sun-drenched levels, placing a private, light-filled setting just steps from cafés, wine bars, MSAC and the city-bound light rail. Beautiful hand-painted stained glass and period detail give way to a more contemporary interior as the hallway carries the line of sight straight through to the rear garden. The central living room connects directly to the premium chef's kitchen, finished in Taj Mahal quartzite and fitted with Miele appliances and integrated Liebherr refrigeration, with a built-in dining table extending from the island. Bifold doors open to a generously proportioned deck and landscaped garden beyond, where established greenery and a northern aspect bring all-day sun and privacy, with an automated overhead awning providing shade in warmer months. Light filled central stairwell opens to the landing which offers a quiet, library-style sitting area with full-height walnut-veneer shelving and joinery complimented by a dedicated study, complete with in-built workstations and storage. A ground-floor main bedroom is fitted with custom robes and a bespoke window seat, complemented by an en-suite with heated travertine floors and Verde riviera quartzite finishes. Two further bedrooms sit upstairs, each oversized and boasting built-in robes and desks; one retains an ornate fireplace, and the other enjoys both northern and eastern aspects. A second bathroom continues the same material palette as the kitchen and living areas, with heated travertine underfoot and a bath positioned to capture natural light. Additional features include double glazing, heating/cooling, alarm, irrigation system, powder room, European laundry, Brodware tapware, feature lighting, extensive storage throughout, rear pedestrian ROW access, storage shed and undercover bike storage. . Within easy reach of transport, St Vincent Gardens and excellent schools, and only moments from South Melbourne Market, the beach and Albert Park Lake, it offers first-class living with every inner-beachside amenity within reach.
