Lovingly restored & impeccably maintained, this ornately detailed & highly picturesque double-storey Victorian classic is just moments from all beautiful Balaclava has to offer. Past the terrace’s showstopping exterior of cast-iron lacework & checkerboard-tiled veranda, a regal entryway welcomes you exuding a fresh & welcoming atmosphere from the moment of entry. Refurbished for modern convenience, the terraced home maintains the awe-inspiring features of a Victorian classic from ornate ceiling roses, intricate original mouldings & regal arched hallways, to polished timber floors & elegant sash windows. Formal living & dining rooms with grand high ceilings lead off the main entrance divided by two exquisite ornamental fireplaces & glass French doors leading onto a bricked side courtyard. At the rear of the ground floor, a spacious gourmet kitchen equipped with Smeg six-burner gas cooktop & oven, Bosch dishwasher, sleek stone benchtops & breakfast bar opens onto a relaxed north-facing living/dining area leading through glass doors straight onto the home’s bricked alfresco area bathed in northern sunshine with a double-car garage accessible by the rear laneway. Upstairs, plush carpeting is laid throughout with a spacious north-facing terrace balcony to the right with adjacent updated main bathroom with separate toilet. To the left of the landing, a roomy bedroom or home office featuring built-in robes & custom cabinetry & finally, a stunning master suite with original ornamental fireplace, built-in robes & double glass French doors leading onto the home’s front-facing balcony. A spacious laundry with shower & toilet facilities downstairs, understairs storage, split systems throughout & split-level central heating complete this beautiful home that’s so iconically Melbourne.
