OFFERS BELOW ASKING PRICE CAN BE SUBMITTED AND WILL BE CONSIDERED

Rare to the market and occupying a prime position on the corner of Lauriston Road and Ruthven Street in the heart of sought-after Victoria Park Village, this impressive 2,100 sq.ft. home boasts Victorian proportions throughout, with high ceilings on the first floor and vaulted ceilings on the second floor which opens out on to an amazing private roof terrace spanning over 500 sq.ft. (50 sq.m).

This unique home offers the opportunity to live in one of the most unique homes in Victoria Park Village.

The current owners have a deep connection to Victoria Park Village having opened the very first restaurant here in 1988, and this maisonette was their family home for many years; they commissioned architect and former RIBA president Paul Hyatt to design the space in 2000 and proceeded to laterally knock through and connect two apartments to create this very special space.  The property offers tenants the opportunity to refurbish and reimagine the space even further to suit their needs and taste.

Accessed via it’s own front door on quiet Ruthven Street, you are immediately led to the first floor and greeted by impressively high 9ft ceilings throughout.  The first floor is comprised of 4 double bedrooms, 3 bathrooms (including 2 ensuite shower rooms), utility cupboard and ample fitted storge.  All bedrooms benefit from large sash windows and seocondary glazing, with the main bedroom having fantastic corner views directly over the village. 

The second floor is an expansive open plan living, dining and entertaining space with vaulted ceilings and exposed support beams stretching to over 700 sq.ft.; 7 large sash windows allow sunlight to flood in from the south, east and west, as well as 3 sets of French doors leading to the roof terraces.  The kitchen is fully integrated with a large central island and there is even a spiral staircase leading to a light filled mezzanine office/snug with additional storage.

This home is further complimented by two private roof terraces – the main terrace extends to 50 sq.m (over 500sq.ft.) and is a generous space which attracts sunshine from the east in the morning and the west in the afternoon/summer evenings, making it an incredible entertaining space with views of the Victoria Park tree tops and Ruthven Street/Lauriston Road. The second terrace is accessed from the dining area.
