Rare opportunity to buy in North Melbourne's Hotham Hill precinct

<p>In the 1850's, the Victorian gold rush sparked a population boom and the expansion of Melbourne.</p>

<p>Among the areas that flourished during the time was the elevated and sought-after district now fondly known as Hotham Hill in North Melbourne.</p>

<p>Now development group Mainstone are set to imbue their history into the heritage suburb, with the&nbsp;Beaconsfield family-led group holding their own&nbsp;long-standing roots within Melbourne.&nbsp;</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=112765 project_image_fid=200559]</p>

<p>Howard Beaconsfield commenced the building, development and investment business over six decades ago, with Mainstone now under the management of David and Michael Beaconsfield.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Their latest project, named Hotham Hill after the location,&nbsp;will bring a boutique, architecturally-driven block of just 10 residences to the wide, tree-lined Curran Street.</p>

<p>Crafted by the acclaimed MGS Architects, each residence, with a sustainable biophilic design, pays homage to North Melbourne's residential fabric.</p>

<p>Asymmetrical rooftops pay tribute to the surrounding heritage homes, while classic, durable materials strike a balance between timeless design and contemporary innovation. Expansive glazing and spacious floor plans give residents a feeling of boundless space and individuality.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=112765 project_image_fid=200557]</p>

<p>The interiors are light-filled, following an open plan design that effortlessly merges the indoors with the outdoors, with generously proportioned balconies and terraces adjoining each.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The kitchens are positioned as the heart of the homes, featuring bespoke cabinetry, natural Carrara marble benchtops and splashbacks, luxury Miele appliances, and designer tapware.</p>

<p>Abundant storage for kitchenware is provided by custom joinery, while entertainers will appreciate the generous island bench and butler's enclave, in addition to the various customisation options on offer, including bespoke bars, appliances, and joinery.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=112765 project_image_fid=200558]</p>

<p>Beyond their aesthetic appeal, Hotham Hill residences are dedicated to sustainability.</p>

<p>Boasting an average energy rating of 7 stars, the homes consume 80 per cent less energy than a typical uninsulated house built in 1990, while dual aspects are provided across all two and three-bedroom residences, promoting cross ventilation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hotham Hill is under construction and is forecast to be completed by the end of 2024.</p>
