THE DEAL

An architect’s own masterpiece from renowned Castley McCrimmon, this Rothwell Hill classic sets a new benchmark for single-level luxury, brilliantly blending Federation-era charm, chic minimalism, and sun-soaked simplicity.

Its sash windows and leadlight glass precursors for elaborate ceiling rosettes, arches, and fireplaces, quaint period details are tastefully contrasted by a range of modern inclusions, with moody, on-trend tones spanning French oak floors, built-in robes, a squared hallway arch, and pairing of limestone, dual-basin vanity and full coverage of Pigmento Terra tiles in a simply stunning bathroom. Textured plaster lining walls and pillars, towering ceilings join sheer curtains in accentuating a feeling of airy distinction, with a first-class kitchen equipped for large-scale hospitality. The broader space’s centrepiece, a striking pendant hangs above a lengthy Mocca Creme limestone work/dining bench, with a brilliant, north-facing yard perfect for barbecues on cloudless afternoons.

Three substantial bedrooms ensure suitability for young families, professional couples, and downsizers alike, while further highlights include a fully integrated Fisher & Paykel fridge/freezer and dishwasher, gas stove, and oven to a stand-out kitchen, comprehensive heating/cooling, a European laundry, and eligibility for multiple parking permits. With Ascot Vale Station reaching the CBD in 4 stops, Union Road’s cuisine, shopping, nightlife, leisure facilities, and trams are no more than 150m away, while revered private schools, the tranquil Maribyrnong River Trail, and bustling Puckle Street precinct all sit nearby.
