80 Barkly Street

With emphasis on optimising space, maximising light, and creating a quiet, leafy oasis away from the city bustle, this reinterpreted Victorian delivers luxury that's clever, confident, convenient, and refreshingly approachable. A Japanese maple anchors a front garden and façade full of boom-style expression, with a marble step and high-ceiling hallway making an impression to remember. Extensive storage and a chic bathroom accompany substantial three bedrooms, while hardwood becomes polished concrete as accommodation meets entertaining. Clerestory windows bring all-day northern sun to an airy living/dining domain, flowing through zero-threshold glass to a back garden perfected by AKAS. Total privacy, a trickling pond, and array of mature flora create tranquillity rare so close to the city, while Bosch and Fisher & Paykel appliances in a stone-top kitchen, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, a full-size laundry, vine-laced side courtyard, shed, and mobile-controlled rear parking lift appeal beyond compare. Metres to bike paths, Princes Park and Secondary College (zoned), CBD trams, and iconic Lygon Street, Rathdowne Street, and Sydney Road.
