509 Dryburgh Street, North Melbourne

Filled with light and brimming with unexpected delights, this renovated and extended period beauty sits proudly opposite Royal Park. The home cleverly conceals a family-sized layout behind its picturesque façade. The thoughtfully landscaped front garden is highlighted by a towering evergreen conifer and an elegant iron-clad verandah that guides you to a traditional arched entry topped with a skylight. Just off the hallway, two bedrooms showcasing open fireplaces and richly detailed high ceilings are accompanied by a powder room, a shower room, and an external blue spa. To the rear, the expansive living and dining room, warmed by a gas fireplace, integrates effortlessly with the outdoors through glass doors that lead into a sunroom with folding doors opening onto an entertaining patio with a soothing water feature, and a serene rear garden, accessible from a convenient rear lane. The contemporary open-plan kitchen is well-appointed with a gas cooktop, wall ovens, a dishwasher, and a breakfast bar for casual meals. Ascend the staircase to the private sanctuary of the third and main bedroom, spanning the entire floor, complete with an ensuite bathroom featuring a bath and separate shower. An adjoining study area overlooking the living room enhances the interior's sense of connectivity. Further surprises await on the top level, where a multi-purpose rumpus room, which could also serve as a fourth bedroom, or sitting room retreat or incorporate a home office, opens onto a sunny, west-facing balcony with district views. Additional amenities of this impeccable home include a laundry, ducted heating and cooling, ample under-stair and roof storage, and extensive built-in cupboards, along with an automated back garden and lawn watering system. Situated on one of the neighbourhood's best streets, this ready to move-in home is conveniently located near Melbourne's main hospital precinct including the Royal Children's Hospital and the Royal Melbourne Hospitals, along with the University of Melbourne, RMIT, the Queen Victoria Market, and North Melbourne Primary, and University High Schools. Public transport by tram and train are also very close by.
