34 Cruikshank Street
Port Melbourne

A rare double-storey presence in a quiet streetscape of single-level homes gives this Hawthorn-brick Victorian an unmistakable edge. Thoughtfully renovated and extended with a second frontage to Little Cruikshank Street and a deep, European courtyard garden to the rear, it seamlessly weaves period beauty with contemporary refinement, a short walk from Edwards and Gasworks Arts Park, the beach, and the light rail.

Light flows effortlessly through the home, uniting each space with openness and calm. The formal sitting room is a nod to the home’s heritage, showcasing ornate details, Baltic pine floors, and an original fireplace. Beyond, a landscaped side garden brings brightness to the modern kitchen, appointed with marble-inspired benchtops and stainless steel appliances, extending via bi-fold doors to the rear gallery-style hallway. An expansive living and dining domain, set under high raked ceilings and enveloped in greenery, is the perfect prelude to alfresco entertaining, opening to the deep paved courtyard that features an in-built BBQ, established trees, and a storage shed with a roller door that invites the potential for off-street parking (STCA).

A luxurious, spa-inspired central bathroom featuring a freestanding concrete bath and walk-in shower complements the ground-floor bedroom with robes and soaring ceilings. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms, both with built-in robes, offer their own unique appeal—one capturing city views through a northern window, while the other enjoys a recently updated ensuite. Zoned for Albert Park College and located within easy access to the area’s best cafes and restaurants, city-bound transport, parks and the bay, this impressive home features a European laundry, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, hydronic heating, and abundant storage.
