Description
This beautiful townhouse is located in a charming part of the city positioned between the historic quayside and the highly desirable area of St Leonards and the City Centre. Offering city living on a quiet residential street which sees little traffic, Melbourne Street is part of this delightful and eclectic collection of roads which link the St Leonards area to the city itself with the unique shape of the renowned Hour Glass public house being the last property at the southern end of the street. The house is rich in period detail throughout, combined with comfortable and stylish modern décor.
Arranged over four floors and accessed through the original front door, the entrance floor comprises two reception rooms with beautiful sash windows and high ceilings, the rear room doubling as a fourth bedroom.
The two upper floors provide an abundance of natural light with a further three bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. The homely kitchen and dining room are found downstairs and provide access to the rear courtyard garden which is south east facing with space for outside furniture and potted plants and with a rear pedestrian gate. The house offers a versatile layout with at least two rooms to each floor, offering potential for multiple uses across living areas, bedrooms and office space; for those working from home.
This is a superb property, in a rarely available position ideal for the needs of a family or indeed for a professional couple looking to balance busy city life with quiet suburban living.
