Artworks by various Australian artists line the walls of the hallway, entertaining spaces and bedrooms.
The two-storey home, owned by an avid art collector for the past four decades, is over 100 years old.
Can you guess which painting is too big to move?
A skylight ensures the kitchen stays warm and inviting.
More artworks, convenient book shelves and a Juliette balcony.
“It’s one of the original buildings of East Melbourne,” Mr Kainey said.
“There are so few homes in the area, and these properties are very tightly held.”
A private rooftop terrace sits alongside the main bedroom, linked to the lower level via a spiral staircase.
“What impressed me the most is the indoor-outdoor lifestyle,” Mr Kainey said.
An upstairs deck has been transformed into succulent central.
The deck has outlook over East Melbourne.
Timber ceilings are on display throughout the home.
The home hasn’t changed hands in four decades.

124 Commodore Drive, Paradise Waters.
Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate and wife Ruth have sold the main river mansion they picked up at a bargain price two years ago on one of the city’s elite streets.
The sale of 124 Commodore Drive, Paradise Waters was announced on social media over the weekend.
Further details on the price or the buyer are yet to be revealed.
The two-level residence at 124 Commodore Drive enjoys a wide water position.
The Tates paid $3.55m for the five-bedroom residence on a point position in August 2018.
That price was $550,000 less than the property fetched in 2015 and less than the $4m paid in 2007.
The house, which sits on an 1105sqm site at the end of elite Commodore Drive, was marketed at $5.5 million in 2016.
The Tates first put the holding to market in January for $4.55 million in a move designed to cash in on the $9.4m sale of an adjoining three-lot riverfront site.

Improvements have been made on the property, pictured here in 2018.
A fresh push was made in early June when the property was marketed as a “rare and unique opportunity to secure this landmark and iconic Paradise Waters north-east facing point position, arguably one of the very finest positions on the Gold Coast”.
Improvements have been made to the house which has an open plan design and a tropical resort-style feel with enviable views of the city skyline.
Commodore Drive is regarded as one of the city’s elite streets.
The north-east facing site boats 50m of wide water frontage with a pool, manicured gardens, and a sandy beach where a jetty and pontoon cater for boat owners.
The Commodore Drive property is the ninth the Tates have owned at Paradise Waters since 2002.
They retain an apartment in one of the Kings Row buildings near the entrance to Commodore Drive.
The sale is the latest in a string of strong deals along main river during the COVID-19 period as buyers at the top end of town show confidence in prestige property.

“It’s currently used as a hire boat (but) there is a marina … so if somebody wanted to live on the houseboat full time they could,” he said.
“The current owners have had it for 20 years and they’ve done a lot of renovations to it.”
The two-storey houseboat has a range of ‘ferry’ impressive features, including multiple entertainment decks and modern interiors.
It has an open kitchen, living and dining area that flows through sliding glass doors onto an entertainment deck with a new barbecue, ice chests and outdoor setting.

Margaret Allnutt has sold the Aspendale home her family has owned since early last century. Picture: Wayne Taylor
A historic Aspendale property with its own boat building shed and slipway has sold to a high-profile sailing family.
The 1 Bowman Street home, believed to have housed Victoria’s first boat hire business, sold for an undisclosed figure at the top of its $3-$3.3m price guide.
The buyers were Stewart Rose — who campaigned to represent Australia at the 1996 Olympics and claimed a number of national titles in the sport including junior sailor of the year in 1996 — and his three-time Sydney Hobart Yacht Race-contending wife Kerryn.

Vendor Margaret Allnutt’s family started the boat hire business on the edge of the Mordialloc Creek in 1938, with her late husband Dave building boats at the home from the 1970s.
Ms Allnutt will now downsize from the 1106sq m property that has 28m frontage to the creek, a slipway, boatshed, pool and pool house, a three-bedroom main house and a double-storey unit complex with another two residences.
Margaret Allnutt’s husband Dave built and maintained boats from the property in the 1970s. Picture: Wayne Taylor
The home comes with extensive water frontage to Mordialloc Creek.
“I keep pinching myself at the timing of it,” she said.
“But I couldn’t be happier, really. I got the price I wanted and people who will keep the house and will do some of the repairs that need to be done.
“I will miss looking out of my kitchen and lounge room windows and seeing the water and the boats, it is an ever changing scene.”
The view will be hard to farewell.
The everchanging panorama features numerous boats and a tranquil water backdrop.
The buyers are looking forward to maintaining the property’s boating heritage, with Ms Rose saying this would be their “forever home” and a wonderful place for them to teach five-year-old son William to sail a dinghy they have bought for him.
The main home has three bedrooms and has suited the same family for decades.
A pool and man-cave-like poolhouse were added to the home over the years.
“When you see a property like 1 Bowman come on the market, it’s so unique you know it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity,” she said. “And the history there is part of the appeal. But we’re also happy it will let us continue to explore our interest in sailing and boating.”
Buxton Mentone director Matthew Cox said it had been one of the most challenging sales of his career, with a number of government departments involved due to the waterway, as well as COVID-19 causing issues, but in the end three buyers had made offers.
A luxuriously appointed kitchen adds to the home’s appeal.
The pool house embraces the name on two fronts.
Mr Cox said a further six had abandoned plans as a result of COVID-19 biting their businesses.
“It was a real mixed bag including a developer looking to build multiple homes on site and people who were looking to change the zoning to have a bit of retail there,” he said.

Steve and Josephine Hantos, with kids Liam, Matilda, Audrey and Oscar, are selling without a reserve. Picture: Tim Hunter
In the dollar-signs-in-their-eyes, flip and sell, asset-collecting world of the Sydney housing market, one family has decided someone else’s dream is worth more than their own wallets.
So they’ve put their Epping house up for auction without a reserve price.
It’s got an estimated value of about $1.5 million, but without a reserve Steve and Josephine Hantos would have to hand over the keys for as little as $1 if it is the only bid placed.
The couple want their four bedroom house to continue to be a home to happy memories, to “pay it forward” after getting lucky in business and investments. .
“We want the house to sell for a record price. Not a record high — the other way,” Mr Hantos said.

The family have a sentimental attachment to the property after living there for 15 years and would be “sad” if it sold to a developer who knocked it down, he said.
“We want another family to come in and make it a home,” he said. “We’re hoping that doing this will draw more of that kind of buyer or even steer it toward a first homebuyer.”
Comparable sales near The Third Ave home were about $1.5m.
Selling agent Catherine Murphy of The Agency said she had never encountered a seller who tried this before.
Reserves are usually used to protect the sellers in the event of low bidding as it stipulated a minimum amount conditional for the sale.
But the lack of a reserve on the house on Third Ave will mean the sellers will be unable to negotiate the price or shape the outcome in anyway.
“The sellers are being incredibly brave,” Mr Murphy said. “No reserve means they have to accept whatever is offered, even if theoretically it’s just $1.”
The couple are throwing in their appliances as part of the sale.
The estimated value of $1.5 million is based on a normal selling campaign, comparing it to similar property sales, but the outcome of the auction would be impossible to predict, she said.
They’re also throwing in their Smeg appliances, including a fridge, dryer, washing machine and other household items, to sweeten the deal.
Mr Hantos said his family were moving to Beecroft but he felt sorry for younger families seeking homes. “I feel so bad for people starting out and trying to get in the housing market. COVID has made it even worse.”
Cooley Auctions director and auctioneer Damien Cooley will be calling bids on the property when it goes to auction August 22 and said the sale was getting people excited.
The couple have owned the home for 15 years.
“It’s going to be really interesting,” he said. “It means we’re selling regardless of what’s offered.”
But bidders may still have to be realistic because the level of competition would dictate the bidding, Mr Cooley said.
“If it’s going really low, if it’s $25 or something like that, I’ll be wishing I registered … but it’s definitely not going that low.”

Elyse Knowles and Josh Barker are renting their South Melbourne terrace.
Model Elyse Knowles and partner Josh Barker, who were crowned 2017 champions of The Block, have put their South Melbourne pad back on the rental market.
The property power couple have listed their unrenovated investment property at 13 Mountain Street for $600 a week.
It’s a significant price drop from their previous asking rent of $690 and $650 since 2018, according to CoreLogic.

13 Mountain Street, South Melbourne is for rent.
The two-bedroom terrace is yet to be updated by Knowles and Barker, who recently moved to a 1960s Byron Bay beach house they bought for $2.3m last year.
They bought the South Melbourne pad for $1.42m before they left the city in May 2018. ASIC documents name Barker as the owner of the property.
Belle Property South Melbourne property manager Natasha Coulloupas said she could not comment on the listing or the landlords’ identities.

But the agency is marketing the property as “immediately impressive with its high ceiling and wide hallway … drenched with natural lights and perfect for an easy and low-maintenance lifestyle”.
The property is also listed as pet friendly.

Renters could save hundreds by moving to nearby bridesmaid suburbs.
Tenants across Melbourne could save hundreds of dollars a week by moving to nearby bridesmaid suburbs.
And after a recent survey found many tenants financially impacted by the coronavirus crisis did not receive adequate rent reductions, moving down the road could prove a money saver.
Vastly different rents are on offer in the Mornington Peninsula, with houses in off-the-radar suburb Tootgarook leased at a $378 weekly median — far less than blue-chip Portsea, which costs 145 per cent more at $925 a week.
Realestate.com.au chief economist Nerida Conisbee said tenants might miss out on the beautiful Portsea home, but they’d still enjoy access to the beach, lifestyle perks and save big bucks by renting in a nearby bridesmaid suburb.

A grand rental at 7 Wimbledon Court, Portsea is on the market for $1850 a week.
This smaller home at 55 Highbury Rd, Tootgarook has an asking price of $500 a week.
“In the knowledge that you’re probably never going to get the same price, you can enjoy some of the amenities that the blue-chip suburbs enjoy,” she said.
Closer to the city, rent jumped from $500 in Burwood to $950 for nearby Canterbury, while Flemington’s $550 median house rent was well below the $880 for Parkville in the inner north.
Hocking Stuart Yarraville director Leo Dardha said demand for Parkville rentals was strengthened by “flow on from Carlton.”
“(Parkville houses) are larger accommodation, therefore creating higher yield and capital growth,” Mr Dardha said.
“Flemington is heading further northwest, so there’s that density with more apartment markets.”
Time for a change?
There’s a four-bedroom house at 170 Liberty Parade, Heidelberg West that will set a renter back $700 a week.
While a three-bedroom home at 3 Killop St, Alphington is on the market for $850 a week.
In the inner-north, the average tenant in Heidelberg West paid $370, compared to $695 for nearby Alphington.
Collings Northcote head of property management Caleb Pikoulas said Heidelberg West represented great value, with new construction replacing old housing commission stock.
He said some buyers were put off by the slightly longer commute in the suburb, which was not on a train line.
In the unit market, Gardenvale’s median rent of $310 was almost half the $593 in affluent Brighton.
An average Kingsville unit cost $318, well below the $450 cost in Spotswood.
“Kingsville is populated with those older-type flats — that’s the No. 1 factor,” Mr Dardha said.
