Architectural Brilliance Meets Family Luxury in the Heart of South Melbourne

Discreetly set back from the street in a quiet service lane, this freestanding double-fronted Edwardian residence is a rare offering, reimagined and rebuilt by acclaimed developer Nik Spartels as his personal home. A showcase of architectural excellence, this sophisticated family domain blends period charm with cutting-edge design, luxurious finishes and smart home technology, all in a prized Albert Park pocket just moments from the lake, the Village, trams and leading schools.

Beyond its impeccably tuck-pointed brick façade and landscaped front garden, a grand entrance hall welcomes with soaring ceilings, highlight windows and wide hardwood floors. A versatile front sitting room, ideal as a fifth bedroom or fitted media lounge adds flexibility, while the expansive floorplan offers multiple living zones across two light-filled levels.

The ground-floor master suite features a walk-in robe and designer ensuite, complemented by an additional bedroom and a luxe central bathroom with freestanding bath and stone vanity. The floating timber staircase, a sculptural centerpiece leads to two oversized upstairs bedrooms with exceptional storage, serviced by a third elegantly appointed bathroom.

Sun-drenched and designed for entertaining, the spacious open plan living and dining zone is anchored by a gourmet kitchen equipped with a Smeg oven, swathes of white stone, and an expansive butler’s pantry with second dishwasher. Bi-fold doors extend the living space to a stunning northwest-facing courtyard, complete with extensive bluestone paving, a built-in BBQ, and an automated louvre roof for seamless all-weather entertaining.

This home is as intelligent as it is beautiful, featuring CBUS smart home automation, surround sound, remote blinds, hydronic heating, air conditioning, solar-powered Velux windows, video intercom and alarm system. A wall of integrated storage, oversized purpose-built laundry, and rear-lane auto-access to secure off-street parking further elevate the home’s functionality.

Just a short stroll to Albert Park Lake, MSAC, Albert Park Village, and highly regarded schools including Albert Park College and South Melbourne Primary, this is an unparalleled opportunity to secure a residence of distinction, where luxury, design and location converge.
