“Forty– O.B” c1870 – Inviting Period Elegance

East Melbourne is host to many of Melbourne’s oldest homes within its rich historic surrounds making it one of the City’s most desirable and sought-after residential precincts. “Forty-O.B” a classic semi-detached home alongside number 42 sits comfortably in that context with its Victorian Georgian styling reminiscent of English architectural influences of its era.

Steps lead down to a leafy front courtyard and entrance to the elegant period interior featuring high ceilings (some with roses), polished hardwood floors, through an inviting formal sitting room and dining room revealing an informal family dining area alongside a well-equipped kitchen with marble bench tops and premium stainless steel appliances plus a rear study/powder room.

A lush northern garden provides a tranquil haven for outdoor relaxation and entertaining family or friends in complete privacy. Other features include intercom entry, plantation shutters, hydronic heating plus under stair storage.

Delivering a highly desirable inner-city home for those seeking an opportunity to take advantage of the vibrant lifestyle available in East Melbourne, the property is situated in arguably one of the area’s finer positions within walking distance of the CBD through Fitzroy Gardens to a myriad of restaurants, wine bars and shops or Melbourne’s world renowned Sporting and Arts precincts. Also it is only moments from public transport options, including Wellington Parade trams and Burnley Station plus quick and easy access to the South Yarra, Fitzroy or Richmond precincts.
