79 Alfred Crescent

To reside on Alfred Crescent is to hold a front-row position to one of Melbourne's most treasured landscapes. Residences of this calibre with such land, presence, and privileged relationship to Edinburgh Gardens rarely come to market. Beyond its distinguished facade, this c.1890s Victorian property reveals a sense of welcome and arrival seldom found so close to the city. A grand central hall introduces interiors of impressive proportion, where soaring ceilings, original fireplaces, and a sequence of formal and informal rooms reflect both heritage and contemporary evolution. Beyond the surrounding parkland, the lifestyle is both cultivated and connected, offering a life of space, grace, and lasting significance in one of the inner city's most revered settings. - Set upon 1,156sqm, the landholding alone elevates this property into a category of true distinction - a scale rarely encountered so close to the city. - The grand central hall introduces generous and flexible accommodation across four bedrooms. The primary suite offers a private sanctuary, complete with a refined ensuite and walk-in robe, while the additional bedrooms are equally substantial in scale. - A secondary living room provides a versatile space, equally suited to family living, entertaining, or quiet retreat. - To the rear, a light-filled domain unfolds where kitchen, dining and living are thoughtfully arranged around warmth and connection, anchored by an open fireplace and framed by garden outlooks. - The family-sized timber kitchen is well appointed with modern appliances, complemented by abundant storage and expansive bench space. - Luxurious main bathroom evokes a sense of quiet indulgence, with a central soaking tub and fireplace creating a spa-like atmosphere of relaxation. - The backyard reveals a private sanctuary with a deep, sunlit garden of impressive breadth, featuring established greenery, open lawn, and original outbuildings. Former stables, now reimagined as a gym and workshop, contribute both character and function. - A separate, fully self-contained two-bedroom studio introduces exceptional versatility, ideal for extended family, guest accommodation, or a refined work-from-home setting independent in function yet connected to the main residence. - Remote access to a wide side driveway provides secure off-street parking for multiple vehicles, presenting a prized inclusion in this inner-city setting. - Additional features include a full-size laundry and powder room, hydronic heating, open fireplaces, reverse-cycle air conditioning, designer lighting, and video intercom entry. - Enjoy a short stroll to popular cafes, boutiques, and local institutions along Fitzroy North Village and Queens Parade. - Nearby parklands, trails, and transport options including Rushall Station, trams along St Georges Road and Queens Parade, and bus services, provide direct and convenient access to the CBD and beyond.
