Historic city-fringe treasure with desirable dual-frontage Craftsman-built of solid bluestone on an extra-deep garden block backing directly onto Little Nicholson Street, this character-filled residence c1880 offers the added dimension of a separate rear garage and loft-level space in a charming stable setting. Completely quiet and private at the cul-de-sac end of a picturesque street, this historic home with sunny north-side exposure is a wonderfully evocative inner-Melbourne treasure. Situated just nearby the Yarra River, Convent Arts Precinct and vibrant Victoria Street's restaurants, cafes and shops, the location is exceptional and only a handful of tram stops to East Melbourne hospitals, Fitzroy Gardens, MCG and the city. A large entrance courtyard precedes the beautiful bluestone faade that reveals a series of comfortable spaces on polished timber floors including living room (open fireplace), big bedroom and kitchen/meals with stainless-steel stove. At the rear is a study area and stylishly-updated bathroom with laundry facilities, while there's also a huge 2nd bedroom or studio, gas heating, spacious sun-filled garden and remote-control garage. 11 William Street, Abbotsford is an excellent address where this extraordinary cottage with dual frontage presents timeless personality, tremendous potential and a unique opportunity to further improve.
