37 Gipps Street, East Melbourne, Vic 3002

Ideally situated overlooking leafy Darling Gardens, this sophisticated Victorian terrace home harmoniously integrates period charm with contemporary enhancements to create a superb lifestyle in this prestigious suburb on edge of the CBD.

Meticulously maintained and renovated to the highest standards, it comes to market for the first time in nearly 40 years.

Behind the classic Victorian façade, grand proportions, high ceilings, feature fireplaces and distinguished arches are complemented by a multitude of carefully selected fixtures and finishes to create a luxurious haven.

The flexible floorplan, currently arranged with two distinct living zones, formal and informal living, takes advantage of the abundant natural light, while beyond the formal front room, a large study is a welcome option for anyone wanting to work from home.

Past the powder room and laundry, the informal living and dining with a fireplace steps out to a deck and the deep rear garden designed with entertaining in mind. This private oasis leads seamlessly to the double garage, accessed by a rear laneway.

Overlooking the dining and living zone, the light-filled gourmet stone-finished kitchen boasts an array of stainless steel Neff appliances and plentiful storage.

A gentle climb upstairs reveals the sun-drenched upper level where the main bedroom has a fitted walk-in wardrobe, sublime ensuite with dual vanities and views over Darling Gardens. Two more bedrooms, both with built in robes share a central bathroom with a bath and separate shower. The third bedroom has French doors to a private deck with broad views over the trees and rooftops of East Melbourne.

More features of this distinguished residence are ducted heating, cooling, alarm and split systems in all bedrooms. The best of Melbourne is at your fingertips, including the Fitzroy Gardens, the MCG and sports precinct, an array of cafes, restaurants, a choice of tram lines, Jolimont Station, and of course the CBD.
