The appeal of a Princes Hill address provides the ideal accompaniment to the romantic spaces of this distinctive Victorian terrace, distinguished at the rear by a double width garden of charming character. Original Baltic c1870 pine floorboards evoke the era beneath the high ceilings of an arched hall that introduces two double bedrooms, each with an open fire-place. A central living room and a separate dining area, each with its own traditional fire-place, contribute to this home's instantly engaging personality before a modern adjoining kitchen with walk-in pantry and sublime garden outlooks. A beautifully updated bathroom featuring effective sky-lighting and stylish stone vanity reflects an impressive commitment to quality. Gas and Nobo heaters guarantee constant comfort throughout a home enhanced by re-stumping, new sash windows, Ilve stove, security doors, separate laundry, contemporary switch board and period details. A garden retreat featuring a majestic weeping elm from Ripponlea Estate, a wonderful mature loquat and a palm provide a backdrop of botanic beauty. Princes Park, schools and public transport merely moments away. A delight!
