A sympathetic refurbishment celebrates the original character of this grand villa that is deceptively more substantial than it appears from the street.

Superbly located, moments from the heart of Parnell village, the five plus bedroom home has been tastefully updated whilst retaining beautiful character features throughout.

A large family can move straight in and enjoy an effortless inner-city lifestyle with an abundance of super-functional, sunny spaces and private, easy-care terraces.

A deck at the front acts as an outdoor room catching afternoon sun and a fabulous cityscape overlooks the fully fenced lawn. On this entry level, three bedrooms (or two plus home office) come off a lovely long hallway where a traditional archway adds heritage charm.

Generous living areas include a large formal lounge with a floor to ceiling bookcase with a classic sliding library ladder. The glazed kitchen/dining conservatory is flooded with light and both rooms open to a deck, an absolute suntrap.

Basking in the views, the large master suite with wardrobing sits next to a gorgeous separate bathroom with a curvaceous hip bath while the bedroom opposite has an ensuite.

Three more bedrooms plus a third bathroom downstairs add versatility along with a multi-functional living space, ideal as a home office with independent entry via another deck. There's a modern laundry and a utility room leads to the garage plus tons more hidden storage.

Definitely not your average villa, this home caters especially well for parents with teens who can escape to their own spaces yet remain under the same roof and the layout is equally ideal for those who work from home. Claim all the privileges this Double Grammar zone villa delivers so well - close to Parnell's shops, cafes, restaurants and galleries with easy access to Newmarket, motorways, the CBD and waterfront.

With character, size and location on offer, don't miss out on this exceptional opportunity. Our vendors are downsizing and seriously on the market to sell.
