96 Merton Street, Albert Park, Vic 3206

A location acknowledged as one of Albert Park's most desirable addresses provides this charming Victorian with a wide streetscape of period integrity, complemented by proximity to MSAC, Bridport Street cafes, the beach and light rail routes to town. Behind its classical exterior image, two double bedrooms, each with gas open fire-place and built-in robes, share a central bathroom kept beautifully bright by an effective north facing atrium. To the rear, living/dining areas that capture abundant natural light include an open plan kitchen equipped with DeLonghi cook-top, oven and a dishwasher before flowing out through French doors to a paved courtyard of attractive privacy and impressive proportions arranged around a romantic weeping cherry tree. Reverse cycle heating/cooling, attic storage, solar roof panels and pedestrian access to the rear lane further enhance this home's immediate appeal while options for extending up and out when so desired, STCA, are suggested by its enticing, larger than anticipated allotment.
