6 Princes Close Prahran
With multiple suites, multiple levels and so many ways to live, work and build wealth, this is the ultimate off-Chapel Grand Design. Chosen to be filmed by Grand Designs Australia for its innovative approach to inner-suburban work/life balance, this unique property rises over four levels with a clever three bedroom, 3.5 bathroom, triple zone residence, a separate streetfront studio-office, balconies front, rear and on each level and courtyard areas in two directions….along the way catching multiple views to a borrowed urban landscape including a tower-to-tower panorama from the Town Hall to Prahran Central.
Adaptably accommodating with clever full-suite accommodation (with a private ensuite and walk-in-robe for every bedroom), an atrium-view home-office plus 2 clever fitted study areas, this multi-level home rises to every occasion with separate living and dining areas flowing to individual balconies, a quiet sitting-room-library, and top-floor indoor-outdoor living wrapped by an entertainers’ BBQ skygarden.
Starring a Swiss V-ZUG appliance kitchen (with induction cooktop and integrated dishwasher) stretched out beyond a 4.5m stone-wrapped bench, and porcelain-tiled bathrooms with concealed cistern WCs (and a choice of Japanese or spa bath), the home is detailed with finishes drawn from around the world including solid Sydney Blue Gum flooring, and Italian heated towel-rails connected to state-of-the-art English hydronic heating. There’s even a uniquely Australian extra…the property’s original brick wash-house is retained to echo the spirit of the period home that once stood here!
With additional reverse-cycle air-conditioning to almost every room, dual e-screen and block-out blinds to most windows, and an alarm supplemented by 3-camera CCTV, the property has an energy-efficient edge with a 3.0kw solar-energy system, premium Australian-made double-glazing, and a 3000L tank beneath the courtyard’s bluestone-paving.
Most impressively of all, this vastly versatile property has a unique perspective on living, working and investing with the fully self-contained, separately-metered office (with WC facilities) ready to provide a business-at-home workspace, an at-home investment, overflow accommodation …or even potential garaging (Subject to Council Approval).
Live where you work, invest where you live, fit an extended family, or extend an invitation to guests, however you see life in this multi-talented, multi-level Grand Design, this lifestyle location is ready to reward – with Chapel St within 50 steps, Princes Gardens and the Aquatic Centre in view, Prahran station within 400m, Chapel off Chapel theatre within steps, and the tram to the CBD within a last minute dash.
