Behind a distinctive restored shopfront in the heart of Yarraville, this extraordinary three-bedroom residence reveals an unexpected world of considered interiors, heritage character and lush garden seclusion. More akin to a private urban retreat than a conventional family home, it pairs the romance of its historic setting with a sophisticated renovation designed for contemporary life.
Across two beautifully resolved levels, the home unfolds with a sense of generosity and ease. Timber floors, premium carpet and refined finishes create a quietly luxurious backdrop, while a series of interconnected yet distinct living spaces allows the architecture to adapt effortlessly to the rhythms of family life.
At its heart, the open-plan kitchen, dining and living domain is warm and inviting, centred around a stone-topped kitchen with quality appliances, generous storage and a breakfast bar that naturally draws people together. Beyond, a broad timber deck disappears into a curtain of ivy, creating a verdant, almost secret garden atmosphere. Private and wonderfully secluded, it is a place for long lunches beneath the afternoon sun, summer entertaining or the simple pleasure of morning coffee surrounded by greenery.
A separate formal lounge introduces another layer of intimacy, with an integrated entertainment unit lending the room a sense of permanence and polish. At the front of the home, the substantial study is a masterclass in versatility, with bespoke built-in joinery, a generous desk, window seating and integrated storage, alongside a concealed Murphy bed that allows it to transform seamlessly into guest accommodation.
Upstairs, the mood becomes more private. Three bedrooms are quietly positioned away from the activity below, each with built-in robes. The principal bedroom enjoys its own ensuite, while the third opens onto a private balcony—a charming, elevated perch overlooking the neighbourhood.
The main bathroom, with its bathtub and shower, is complemented by a discreet guest powder room downstairs. Hydronic heating and split-system cooling provide year-round comfort, while a European laundry completes the quietly functional plan.
Outside, a whimsical stone-paved pathway leads from the rear deck to a gated carport, an unusually valuable inclusion in such a tightly held village setting.
A home of genuine individuality, where history and contemporary refinement exist in compelling conversation.
