260 Albert Street

In a precinct defined by parklands, historic thoroughfares and proximity to Melbourne’s CBD, 260 Albert Street – also known as The Terrace – stands as a rare expression of heritage meeting thoughtful contemporary design. Delivered within prestigious 250 Albert Street by Pask – considered to be among the city’s most coveted precincts – the restored Victorian residence has been meticulously reinterpreted in collaboration with fjcstudio and SJB Interiors, balancing period grandeur with refined modern living. The facade, rich with ornate iron lacework, bay windows and a tessellated verandah, has been carefully reinstated to honour its architectural origins, while SJB Interiors have sensitively considered the interiors to capture light and flow. Set above a formal landscaped garden, The Terrace offers the flexibility to function as a standalone family home or, alternatively, within the broader owners’ corporation, allowing access to the precinct’s shared lifestyle amenities. Inside, lofty ceilings and proportioned spaces recall the home’s Victorian pedigree yet are imbued with intentional contemporary interventions that elevate everyday life. Here, heritage and modernity coexist, a testament to design integrity and nuanced restoration, delivering a rare East Melbourne address.
