Charming Classic Old World Cottage with Garden Patio
Experience the perfect blend of history and modernity in this renovated Edwardian cottage. Discover a welcoming retreat with a mid-century modern aesthetic, bright living areas, original lead pane stained-glass windows, and a private outdoor dining space. Note: the 3rd bedroom is petite and is accessed via the patio only (i.e. no internal access). Therefore, it may not be suitable for young children who need to be close to their carer(s). Edwardian cottage with original baltic pine floorboards, lots of brass knobs and knockers, and lead-light windows featured in the living area. If you like period detail and appreciate classic design with modern comfort and convenience, then you'll love this beautiful, light and warm space. The living areas are north facing so they're flooded with uplifting natural sunshine. The two main bedrooms with queen-sized beds are quiet and spacious with air-conditioning and heating units. The third bedroom also has an aircon / heating unit but is much smaller, cosy, and compact. It has a beautiful view directly on to the courtyard. Please note that the third bedroom is only accessible by going outside. This means if you want to go to the bathroom, you'll have to go outside into the courtyard, then into the main house. It has a single bed with another single bed underneath which can be rolled out. There isn't much room to walk around when both single beds are out, although it's very easy to roll the under-bed in and out. Outside, there is a private courtyard which is a harmonious zone with lush vegetation and a gazillion flowers through the autumn (the camelias are stunning in full bloom). Sun bake, read a book, and relax in a chilled-out garden.

We prefer to do most of our travel on foot & public transport. Yes, it is possible to have a great life in South Yarra without a car! All the best Melbourne has to offer is easily within reach. *However, car lovers are looked after with easy access to Melbourne's major arterials, such as Punt Road, and Dandenong Road, and Nepean Highway only metres away. TRAINS: (South Yarra train station and Prahran train station within 10 minutes walk. -Catch a train into the city centre within 10 minutes TRAMS: (Or 'Street-Cars' as the Americans say). Catch the 72 tram from Commercial Road (the tram stop is 5 minutes walk away). The 72 tram takes approximately 20 minutes to Melbourne's city centre.) WALKING: Albert Park Lake, Fawkner park and the botanical gardens are within walking distance and offer some of the best recreational facilities and beautiful flora in Melbourne, if not the world. And of course hundreds of cool cafes and restaurants are only a mere stroll away. Indulge in the shopping and the street parade that is Chapel Street. Find your inner hipster down Greville Street. Head to Toorak Road for some great restaurants. Bump n grind your way down Commercial Road's bar scene. WASHING: You're very welcome to use the washing machine (quality washing powder and softener are supplied). If you're going to wash the supplied Bed Linen, Towels, and other Manchester, then please Wash the Whites Separately. That is, Please Do Not Mix White Towels & White Sheets with Coloured Fabrics (sorry if that's obvious to you, but I've had numerous guests who've tried to help by washing things for me but they end up inadvertently destroying my White Linen). Note, the Clothes-Drying Line is located on a retractable reel on the back brick-wall (look up from underneath the two trees and it's located next to the tree on the left). Pull the 2 lines out and walk across the courtyard and find two hooks, located near the top left hand corner of the external window frame for the 2nd bedroom.
