257 Esplanade East, Port Melbourne, Vic 3207

Retaining the charm of its c1890 Victorian origins whilst embracing a striking contemporary renovation, this freestanding three-bedroom residence combines generous indoor-outdoor living with a prized north-west rear aspect and secure off-street parking via Esplanade Place. Set on approximately 184sqm, just moments from South Melbourne Market, Bay Street and the beach it presents an exceptional combination of period character, contemporary design & inner-city convenience.

Beyond its iron lace verandah and recently landscaped garden, an arched hallway lined with Baltic pine floors and soaring ceilings introduces interiors that honour the home's heritage before a striking rear extension brings a fresh perspective to inner-city living.

A sun-drenched central living room with a gas fireplace marks the transition to the contemporary rear, where polished concrete floors, exposed timber beams and original brickwork define an expansive open-plan living, dining and kitchen domain. Stone benchtops, Miele appliances, a Smeg dishwasher and skylights enhance the beautifully planned layout, while a full wall of double-glazed timber bi-fold doors opens seamlessly to the north-west-facing entertainment deck and courtyard, extending the living domain outdoors, with secure off-street parking beyond.

Accommodation is well zoned, with two bedrooms retaining their original Victorian proportions, each appointed with built-in robes, and a third set beside a stylish skylit bathroom with a walk-in shower and integrated laundry. Perfectly positioned within one of Port Melbourne's most highly sought-after tree-lined streets, this exceptional residence is just a short stroll from Bay Street's cafés, restaurants and boutiques, South Melbourne Market, the beach and surrounding parklands. Additional features include zoning for Albert Park College, keyless entry, split system heating and cooling, storage shed and secure rear access via Esplanade Place.
