60 Evans Street, Port MelbourneVIC

Brilliantly designed and meticulously crafted, the contemporary architectural renovation and extension of this traditional, c 1880’s freestanding Victorian cottage has delivered a 3 bedroom + study masterpiece in which the attention to detail is second to none.

Directly opposite the heritage-protected expanses of Turner Reserve, the home’s exquisite original façade and towering-ceilinged front rooms give way gracefully to a modern, Hamptons-inspired open-plan rear where concertina doors seamlessly connect to a tranquil Northern oriented courtyard. Subtly Tuscan-themed and soothed by the trickling of a water feature, the effect is both captivating and incredibly calming.

Certain to inspire, the kitchen is superbly appointed with striking stone waterfall benches, a pyrolytic Miele oven, twin pantries and a wine fridge. Meanwhile, you can climb an eye-catching staircase of hardwood, glass and stainless steel railings, to discover a particularly decadent master bedroom retreat, that is serviced by a vogue ensuite, walk-in robes and a brilliant study.

Merely moments from the vibrancy of Bay Street and a city-bound light-rail, this is a feature-rich residence that also offers another stunningly renovated bathroom, a stone-topped European laundry, huge built-in robes, sleek Plantation Shutters, feature lighting, ducted heating, split system cooling and much more.
