48 Thomson Street, South Melbourne

Situated on a prime corner allotment with convenient side pedestrian entry, this flawlessly presented brick Victorian cottage balances a sense of seclusion with immediate access to the city’s most iconic landmarks. Sunlight streams in from the northern-oriented aspect, illuminating a high-walled patio framed by climbing fig—the ideal setting for open-air hosting just moments from the vibrant hubs of Clarendon Street and the South Melbourne Market. The interior transitions from a grand arched corridor into a voluminous living and dining area, where soaring ceilings and contemporary oak floors meet a high-end culinary space defined by organic marble finishes, tactile linen blinds, and premium Fisher & Paykel technology (including a dishwasher). Whether working from the custom-built study nook or retreating to the bedrooms—both featuring integrated wardrobes while the primary suite adds the character of an ornamental open fireplace—the home feels like a private sanctuary. Complete with a beautifully updated bathroom featuring a vintage claw-foot tub and a discreet European laundry, along with cooling and heating, this turnkey residence offers a low-maintenance lifestyle positioned perfectly between the tranquil Albert Park Lake and the seamless city access of the 1, 12, and 96 tram lines and ANZAC Station.
