297 Ross Street, Port Melbourne

Family-sized Stunner in Premier Position

With a single-fronted façade that gives little clue of the sensational accommodation that unfolds within, this cleverly renovated and extended Victorian jewel provides families with a sophisticated setting in a prized inner-city suburb. Combining the charm of its heritage with designer finishes and an infusion of personality, the home is introduced by the original verandah and, once inside, the high ceilings and a decorative hallway arch nod to its nostalgic beginnings.

Setting an effortlessly stylish scene for free-flowing entertaining, the accommodation is focused upon an impressive open plan living and dining area where a gourmet stone kitchen has been appointed with Miele appliances and boasts substantial storage - including a brilliant walk-in pantry - along with a long island bench where silky stone waterfalls down to the rustic-chic Blackbutt floorboards below. A bank of bi-folds connects the interiors with a sheltered alfresco area that features an in-built BBQ with rangehood. This area boasts a fan and heat strips making it ideal for year-round use. Heading out further, you can enjoy the northern sunshine. From here, there is the true drawcard of a double auto garage with rear laneway access.

Incredibly, the home offers four sensational bedrooms – two are located downstairs where they share a sophisticated bathroom complete with freestanding bath. Up a statement staircase, two more bedrooms - each with the luxury of their own ensuite - flank a skylit second living area which has been fitted with a desk & storage for fabulous functionality. Ample storage in all bedrooms is an added practicality, as is the full-sized laundry, which opens out to a drying terrace. Ducted heating/cooling and security conclude an exceptional urban sanctuary.

Perfectly located to enjoy easy access to both the CBD and glorious beaches, this beautiful home is near the light-rail, close to pubs & restaurants and moments to Bay Street - ovals, recreation and South Melbourne Market are also close at hand.
