Wurley

Heritage beauty, village surrounds, and the distinct hand and eye for quality of renowned luxury designer & builder Nik Spartels. Beyond a traditional double-fronted, solid-brick Victorian façade, this four-bedroom residence has been expertly transformed, creating a striking dialogue between past and present that feels entirely at ease in its setting. With a second frontage to Brooke Street providing secure off-street parking and a rooftop retreat looking back toward the city skyline, it occupies a rare position between St Vincent Gardens and the village, where everything, from trams to cafés and the beach, is within easy reach., , The original façade gives way to a finely tuned material palette, with heated polished concrete underfoot, exquisite Venetian plaster, and natural stone throughout, designed to absorb and reflect the northern light from the brilliant al-fresco aspect. Curved floating steps and a concrete hearth shape the open-plan living domain, offering subtle transitions without interruption, met by a statement marble kitchen appointed with a suite of AEG appliances and integrated refrigeration., , A set of oversized stacked sliding glass draws the living and dining spaces outward to a north-facing courtyard, complete with low-maintenance garden borders, a custom built-in BBQ, a pizza oven and space for a large vehicle beyond a secure remote-controlled roller door. Two ground-floor bedrooms include a decadent main suite with LED-lit full-height robes and a luxurious ensuite featuring twin vanities, sky-lit architectural ceilings and a stunning freestanding bath. Two additional bedrooms with built-in robes follow upstairs, supported by a second marble-finished bathroom and rooftop terrace, affording extraordinary treetop outlooks towards the city and the village below., , Zoned for Albert Park Primary and Albert Park College, with MSAC, the 96 light rail and popular cafés and restaurants all within walking distance, it is also enhanced by a large storage-rich laundry, a powder room, hydronic heated floors (ground), zoned reverse-cycle air conditioning, hydronic heating panels, alarm, CCTV and irrigation. , , In conjunction with Sarah Jones 0408 365 361 | Evoke Property.
