29 Little Cruikshank Street, Port Melbourne, Vic 3207

EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST CLOSE - Wednesday 4th November 3pm.

A rare expression of industrial modernism designed by 1996 architect of the year Robert Mcintyre and featured in House & Garden magazine. this freestanding residence has been designed around its spectacular northern rear aspect, with its distinctive concrete and fibreglass façade concealing a highly considered dual-level interior in a quiet parkside setting near the beach and Bay Street.

A dramatic central fissure marks the entrance, opening to contemporary interiors defined by full-height glazing, raw concrete and substantial timber beams. Robust materials are softened by the garden outlook and vaulted cedar beams that extend above full-height windows, lending the open-plan living and dining spaces much of their architectural appeal. Sliding external screens across the northern wall temper sunlight and security as required, allowing outdoor access for al-fresco entertaining amid total privacy, whilst the streamlined kitchen is well appointed and keeps entertaining closely connected to the main living space.

A central staircase rises to an upper level designed in reference to the original cottages once lining the street, comprising two spacious bedrooms with integrated robes and steel-framed glazing. A ground-floor bathroom, full laundry, wide side access and off-street parking for one add immense appeal, all within a brilliant lifestyle location, mere steps from Edwards Park and Lagoon Reserve, and within easy walking distance to the beach, Bay Street, Gasworks Arts Park, St Vincent Gardens, South Melbourne Market, Albert Park College and the city-bound light rail.
