4 William Street, Abbotsford, Vic 3067

Behind its captivating double-fronted Victorian façade, this substantial solid-brick family residence has far more going on than its heritage-lined streetscape suggests. Spanning a deep allotment of approximately 311sqm, a complete contemporary transformation has elevated this exceptional home into a brilliant single-level entertainer, with sun-drenched indoor-outdoor living spaces, stylish finishes, and a bonus independent ensuite studio that offers flexibility for growing needs.

Natural light streams through the wide central hallway, accentuating soaring ceilings and retained Victorian detail as three generous bedrooms, each with built-in robes, unfold from the front of the home. A designer main bathroom with a freestanding bath is complemented by a separate powder room, before the floorplan opens dramatically at the rear into open-plan entertaining spaces. Living and dining are separately zoned, allowing each space to feel expansive in its own right, with the all-electric kitchen positioned between them and appointed with excellent storage, stone benches and plumbing for the fridge. Sliding glass opens both areas to a broad deck and high-walled courtyard, creating a private extension of the living space for al-fresco dining, entertainment or play. Beyond, remote-gated access leads to the rear carport and a brand-new upper-level studio with ensuite, adding superb flexibility as a home office, guest suite, private accommodation or additional living zone.

Complete with a large laundry, split-system heating and cooling, an alarm system and abundant storage, it places effortless family living within easy reach of everything that makes this city-edge pocket so sought after. Walk to Victoria Street’s cafés, restaurants and trams, Abbotsford Primary, the Yarra River and its surrounding parkland and trails, with Abbotsford Convent, Collingwood Children's Farm, the CBD and prestige schooling all close by.
