'ULSTER HOUSE' c1893

A property of significant style and status since 1893, ULSTER HOUSE is perhaps Port Melbourne's most historically important home, designed by leading architect T Knox Smith and built by Meyer & Austin for prominent Port Melbourne businessman Mr Samuel Coulter. Exceptional 7m width enhances the sense of space that defines refined period rooms framed by 4m ceilings above antique baltic pine floorboards. An evocative living room, central study and separate dining room, each retaining an open fire-place, lead to a family room/meals domain where the modern mood is matched by the open-plan kitchen. Aspects across a private courtyard, with water feature and BBQ area, contribute exceptional outdoor appeal to the downstairs dimensions while above, three bedrooms and two beautifully renovated bathrooms include a master bedroom with substantial walk-in robe, sophisticated ensuite and balcony access. A hydronic heating system delivers contemporary comfort. This home of notable architectural elegance is complemented by a fully self-contained apartment that enjoys its own Princes Street address and provides additional accommodation, home office or rental/Airbnb possibilities, above secure garaging for two cars. North Port trams and Bay Street are a moments walk from ULSTER HOUSE, desirably situated overlooking Smith Reserve, within easy reach of primary and secondary schools, the CBD and the beach.
