97 Merton Street, Albert Park VIC 3206

Bordering Albert Park Village and only moments from the beach, this recently renovated three-bedroom Victorian home combines timeless proportions with a generous 197m2 allotment and a prized 5.63m frontage to College Place at the rear. Within steps of cafés, boutiques and city-bound trams, the single-level design opens with an arched hallway beneath soaring 11-foot ceilings, leading through to two generously sized bedrooms with double built-in robes, while a third bedroom offers versatility as a large study or guest space. At the centre, the oversized living domain reflects the home’s height and proportion, flowing to a brand new kitchen and meals area, finished with stone benchtops, an Asko dishwasher, Bosch stove and extensive Blum storage. A contemporary bathroom and separate powder room complete a well-zoned interior, while a private courtyard bordered by established greenery creates a sun-filled backdrop for al-fresco dining, with a pedestrian gate to the rear. The prestige of the setting is undeniable, with the bay, MSAC and Albert Park Lake all within easy reach. In the catchments for Albert Park Primary and Albert Park College, and with transport links to leading independent schools close by, it is comprehensively appointed with split-system heating/cooling in every room, plantation shutters, European laundry and the flexibility of rear access with potential for secure off-street parking.
