Set privately behind a green fence, 16 Hotham Street is a beautiful example of what happens when period character meets considered contemporary design. Extended, expanded and renovated to an exceptional standard, this captivating cottage delivers far more than its charming façade might suggest.

From the moment you step inside, the attention to detail is unmistakable. A carefully curated neutral palette provides a timeless foundation, while thoughtful pops of personality, natural textures and warm finishes create a seamless connection between indoors and out. Every element feels intentional, resulting in a home that is as inviting as it is impressive.

At the heart of the upper level, an expansive, light-filled open-plan living and dining domain brings everyday living and entertaining together effortlessly. A gas log fireplace introduces warmth and atmosphere, while the beautifully appointed kitchen makes a statement of its own. Complete with high-end appliances, elegant brass finishes and a pot filler, this is a space where functionality and refined design work hand in hand.

Yet, perhaps one of the property’s most compelling features is its remarkable versatility.

The lower level introduces an entirely new dimension to the home, offering a fully self-contained, apartment-style living arrangement that can be securely separated from the main residence. Ideal for multigenerational families, independent living for adult children, extended guests or those seeking flexibility as their needs evolve, it is an exceptionally valuable inclusion in such a central location.

Outdoors, the transformation continues. The fully landscaped backyard provides a private and beautifully established setting, with a considered balance of greenery, open space and practicality. Rear access via Patrick’s Lane adds another layer of convenience, with ample room for off-street parking and the potential to introduce additional shedding or garaging, subject to the relevant approvals.

What makes 16 Hotham Street so special is not simply the quality of its renovation, but the way it has been designed to accommodate life in all its forms. From Italian marble benchtops, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, to multiple WIFI controlled AC for heating and cooling, separate studio/bed 5 and much more, this homes features are endless. Behind its traditional cottage exterior lies a home of surprising proportions, exceptional finishes and genuine flexibility.

Period charm may capture your attention, but it is everything beyond the façade that makes this address truly memorable.
