12 Coventry Place, South Melbourne, Vic 3205

A classical, Victorian inner suburban hideaway, right on the city's southern fringe, this charming, two-bedroom residence has been timelessly rejuvenated while offering two outdoor living areas and exciting scope for further renewal or even upward extension (STCA). Securely set behind a high front fence in one of the area's most peaceful one-way streets, the home greets you with a soothing front courtyard where a surreal sense of sanctuary is complemented by views of the tops of the city's towers which seem just metres away. Overseen by an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a new dishwasher, the dining/living room is an ambient space with attractive Baltic Pine flooring and seamless French door connection to the home's front courtyard which effectively serves as an outdoor room. Meanwhile, at the rear of the home, a second outdoor living area provides extra flexibility, plus there is a contemporary bathroom with a spa bath under the shower, as well as ducted heating, split system air conditioning, built-in robes in the main bedroom and sub-floor ventilation. Just a block from South Melbourne Market, Clarendon Street's vibrant shopping and dining precinct, as well as a city-bound light rail that can drop you in Southbank in a minute, this is an extraordinary location near an endless selection of cafes, bars, restaurants, the waterfront, Albert Park Lake and Melbourne's famous Arts Precinct.
