This heritage-overlayed family home is positioned in Melbourne’s highly sought after Albert Park, metres away from MSAC, restaurants, Albert Park lake, and the beach.

Named ‘Almo’, legend has it that the first owner of the home in the 1920's bet on a horse race. The horse won big and the proceeds went to building the house. The horse's name was Almo and, in honour, Almo is proudly built into the stained glass window in the entrance.

In early 2021, award winning designer Penny del Castillo, founder of In Design International, was engaged to reinvigorate the home, resulting in brilliantly functional and sophisticated interiors.

Speaking to WILLIAMS MEDIA, Penny Del Castillo said her design inspiration was sparked by the contemporary, Zen-like courtyard. 

“I could perceive by introducing that same sense of serenity into the interiors, it would bring about a more harmonious balance to the entire property and further validate the connection between outside and in!”

“Every so often a home comes along that combines understated elegance with the most cutting edge design elements and mix just works,” The Agency’s Michael Paproth told WILLIAMS MEDIA. 

“This is that home. The location, close to Albert Park Village where only locals go, ensures that this is as close to the perfect home that I could imagine.”

Family friendly interiors feature 3 double bedrooms and 2 superb living zones, with the 2 front rooms – a bedroom and second living area/study retaining their heritage detail whilst the rear of the home is an open plan design that exudes style and quality.

The landscaped courtyard, designed by award-winning designer Steve Taylor of COS Design, is a highlight of the home, extending the living area with a quiet, peaceful sanctuary.

Hidden away in the courtyard is also a fabulous storage/tool shed with tub and running water, providing valuable additional space.
