52 View Street, Alphington, Vic 3078

This crisply styled contemporary residence, just minutes from the Yarra and Alphington Park, is distinguished by a stunning inner urban garden, the result of a collaboration between its artist owners and their neighbour, the well-known designer Kate Herd. The low-maintenance courtyard oasis has been featured in Better Homes and Gardens and Gardening Australia.

Double doors from the front garden, planted right to the street, open to a wide foyer leading through to an expansive L-shaped living and dining zone, flowing out to the north-facing bluestone paved courtyard and entertaining area. The living room is overlooked by a large kitchen, fitted with premium appliances, bespoke timber cabinetry, a walk-in pantry and wine storage space. A full-size laundry opens to a sunny rear courtyard. To either side of the entrance lobby are a large bedroom with ensuite bathroom (separate bath and shower), and a 28sq.m. fully-fitted studio, originally designed as an internal-entry garage. Upstairs, a large retreat with a balcony offering treetop views adjoins two double bedrooms (both with walk-in wardrobes) and a study. Also on the upper level are a stylish second bathroom and a box room.

This tranquil light-filled property features generous storage, split-system air conditioning, a gas log heater, vacuum and security systems and quality fittings. What a location this is just minutes to the Yarra, Alphington Park, Train Station, Buses and Primary School, and close to Station Street shopping and cafes! LAND SIZE: 315sqm / 3,360sqft approx.
