162 Capel Street, North Melbourne.

This Victorian terrace has been reimagined with a clear-eyed sense of what city living should be. Set on approximately 82 square metres, the fully transformed home strips back the past and rebuilds it with intent, to create a sleek, smart, and contemporary environment. The reverse layout defies expectations. Upstairs, a living room with fireplace opens onto a balcony screened by traditional wrought iron, a subtle nod to its history. Across the stairwell, a designer kitchen in matte finishes with stone-look porcelain benches and splashbacks commands attention, leading into a dining room that extends to a generous terrace. Fold-back doors dissolve the line between inside and out, with paving, custom screening and glimpses of the city beyond creating a stunning, private alfresco area. A guest powder room neatly completes this level. Downstairs, two bedrooms anchor the floor, one with built-in robes, the other with a walk-in. A fitted study zone with a bespoke desk and custom joinery makes smart use of every centimetre. The bathroom takes on a calm, stripped-back tone with a walk-in shower and floating basin. At the rear, a private deck opens to a secure gate with right-of-way access to Anderson Lane, adding another layer of flexibility and ease. This offering is completed by hydronic heating and air conditioner units across both levels, and potential on-street parking permits*. Positioned within the University High School and North Melbourne Primary School zones, it's also close to leading private schools. Errol Street's eateries, the #57 and #58 trams, North Melbourne Station, Queen Victoria Market and Flagstaff Gardens are all within easy walking distance, with Melbourne Central, RMIT, the University of Melbourne and CityLink nearby too. This is not a renovation for tradition's sake. It's a residence built for the way people live now with its clean lines, inner-city energy and no compromises. *Parking permits are provided at the discretion of City of Melbourne - interested parties should make their own enquiries.
