106 Park Street, South Yarra

Located in the dress circle of the Royal Botanic Gardens and held by one family for over 50 years, this elevated Victorian sits proudly above this coveted South Yarra boulevard. Awaiting its next generation to breathe new life into it (STCA), the brick residence is blessed with abundant north light through most rooms and ROW offering opportunity to unleash your inner architect in a fittingly elite location. Built in c1885, the home retains soaring 3.5m ceilings adorned with deep cornices, ceiling roses and Victorian arches alongside its original joinery throughout. Currently the building comprises two principal rooms followed by a centrally located bathroom with tub, a retro kitchen, lounge, separate dining room and second bathroom all bathed in north light. In a street that’s home to a fortunate few, it’s a quick hop over the road to Park Pantry for your morning coffee and mere metres to the Domain Village eateries overlooking everything that the Botanic Gardens have to offer. Walk just a little further to find yourself at the Shrine, Melbourne’s art precinct and the city beyond. Or head towards Fawkner Park and enjoy the eateries, shopping and amenities of Toorak Road. Also close to several tram options, train and elite schools including Wesley, Melbourne High and Melbourne Girls Grammar.
