150 Kerferd Road, Albert Park, Vic 3206

A magnificent example of Edwardian grandeur, this c1900 residence’s elegance is complemented by an award-winning garden and a clever architecturally designed interior delivered over four levels.

Introduced by a Lisa Ellis designed garden, the home’s recently tuck-pointed façade commences your journey of discovery. Enter to a wide hall with 3.5 m high ceilings, striking leadlight, period fretwork and resurfaced floors. Grand original rooms comprise a sitting room with OFP and bay window, master bedroom with an OFP, lead-light bay window, including an ensuite with twin showers and basins. In the centre of the home is a dining room for 10+ seating with a gas fireplace and stone hearth. A large guest bedroom with an OFP, picture rails and ornate ceiling could also be a library or home office.

Maintaining the extraordinary scale, the high ceilings are continued through the open plan living and family domain featuring slab heating and a full width expanse of glass that blurs the distinction between indoors and out. A gas fireplace in the living room and a chef-quality Gaggenau-appointed kitchen with a marble island are highlights for entertainer's, opening to the landscaped north-western garden, with an airport door extending over the solar/gas-heated fully tiled pool and spa.

Upstairs are three bedrooms and living room, including two with balcony access - all with extensive built in joinery. A large travertine tiled bathroom has twin basins with a “wet area” shower and bath. A basement-level gymnasium/media room offers a window into the pool, a full kitchenette with an integrated dishwasher and a temp-controlled wine-tasting room with 1600 bottle storage.

On the edge of Albert Park Village, trams, MSAC, Albert Park Lake, the beach and premium schools, this impressive home is appointed with hydronic heating, zoned RC/air-conditioning, keyless entry, a powder room, laundry, automated irrigation, an outdoor bathroom, and secure off-street parking via right of way.
