98 Shields Street

Tastefully modernised while staying true to its heritage, this endearing Victorian celebrates privileged Flemington Hill placement to deliver the vibrancy and connectivity inner-city life is famous for. From the eastern side of a beloved, low-traffic street, views of sunrises and city skyscrapers from an oversized terrace set the scene for daily life, brilliant for a morning espresso and blending seamlessly with practical interiors. Two substantial bedrooms are accompanied by a smart, skylit bathroom with a bath/shower and integrated laundry, while a wrap-around kitchen with stainless-steel appliances capably serves open living and dining spaces. Ducted heating, towering ceilings, Baltic pine floors, era-typical ornamentation, and abundant below-deck and under-house storage all add to the appeal, while a private back garden proves a delight for relaxing among greenery. With Mt Alexander Road and Newmarket at each end of the street, it's only a short walk to culinary staples, trendy bars, world-class coffee, the local Woolworths, St Brendan's Primary, various parks, and Moonee Ponds Creek, while trains enable three-stop city access, trams reach hospitals and universities, and CityLink streamlines cross-town commutes.
