Not offered to the Realestate market in 41 years, this beautiful 3 bedroom home is located only a minute to Rathdowne Village and is offered in original condition retaining its period features, starting with the intricate decorative façade, original sash windows and beautiful tessellated tiles.

On entering, the front bedroom offers a glimpse into the properties rich history which is evident in the rare marble fireplace and detailed textured floor. Made up of its original Baltic pine floorboards, elaborately painted red sometime in the 1920s, beautifully framing a well preserved art deco linoleum feature, saturated in its original blue tone patina with patterns reminiscent of the roaring 20s.

Further along the corridor are another two generous bedrooms, a very spacious lounge awaits the end of the hall, bathed in natural light with its mid Victorian cabinets, light fittings and decorative fire place, currently with a modern heater attached.
Rounding off this property are modest kitchen facilities including gas stove and a tiled bathroom with a shower over bath and porcelain vanity.

With a generous private rear garden accessible via a walk way, this terrace is an exceptional foundation for a premium renovation or comfortable first home.

Considering the scarcity of Italianate Victorian terraces across Melbourne's desirable inner city, finding another in this condition just may take you another 41 years.
