51 Gipps Street, East Melbourne

Perched opposite parkland to weave calm into the city fringe verve, this timeless terrace celebrates everything that is Melbourne, pairing classical charm with tasteful updates for a lifestyle of turnkey comfort. Keeping character alive with a wrought iron fence, intricate lacework, and various ornate details over two light filled levels, the home proves just as outstanding for professionals as downsizers and families. Views across Darling Square enliven lounge and dining rooms, while skylights run the length of a vast main section for a feeling of airiness. Two sets of French doors take family and meals areas into a backyard brilliant for hospitality, with any occasion comfortably catered for by a well equipped, storage rich kitchen. With its own balcony and outlooks toward the MCG, a sumptuous master is joined upstairs by a smart bathroom with an integrated laundry, extra powder room, and pair of additional bedrooms, while other features include a downstairs bathroom, hydronic heating, reverse cycle heating/cooling, and secure double carport with wide rear access. A prestigious 3002 postcode places shops, cafés, restaurants, wine bars, trains, trams, and the MCG within a short stroll, while Fitzroy Gardens reveal the arts, culinary, and afterhours scenes of the CBD’s East End.
