73 Merton Street, Albert Park – As Close as It Gets

There’s a sense of quiet completeness at 73 Merton Street. Set on 486sqm with a rear orientation that’s more north-ish than textbook, this home feels resolved in the ways that matter most. The floor plan flows cleanly and purposefully — every room earns its place. The laneway edge won’t be for every buyer, but here it adds more than it takes, delivering privacy, texture, and unexpected light. Inside, the finishes are consistently high-quality. Not flashy, not trend-driven — just refined. I’ve seen hundreds of builds in this pocket, and this one stands out not by trying harder, but by knowing exactly what it is.

What really lifts this home is its balance. It offers open connection without sacrificing quiet spaces. You can live here with energy or with stillness — both work. The cellar, the multi-level garage, the pool — all functional and well-executed. But they don’t distract from what matters: this is a liveable, emotional, intelligently built family home. In my notes, I wrote “900 score?” — and I meant it. Compared to many around St Vincent Place that chase status over substance, this one delivers both.

If you’re a $9–10m buyer and you’ve seen what’s traded recently, you’ll understand why this one won’t hang around. If you’d like help benchmarking this against others quietly moving, or just want clarity on the playbook at this price level, happy to run you through it.
