The terrace which showcases the surrounding views is fitted with a barbecue.
Its on the abode’s top storey alongside an office and powder room which could alternately be used as a fourth bedroom.
The third floor contains a kitchen equipped with Miele appliances, and a living and dining space.
On the second level, a main bedroom suite offers a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite with a bathtub, and balcony.
The ground level’s two bedrooms are joined by a courtyard and central bathroom.
There’s green views galore from the townhouse.
Melbourne’s CBD is also among the panoramas on offer.
The Miele-equipped kitchen also has a dishwasher and timber flooring.
The townhouse’s owners, Professor Lindsay Oades and Alison Hemsley, are selling as they prepare to head overseas for work.
Prof Oades, currently the University of Melbourne’s Faculty of Education deputy dean, will be taking up a new role as provost at the University of York in Mumbai, India.
Ms Hemsley was previously associate dean of student services at the University of Melbourne’s Trinity College.
They moved to Parkville when Prof Oades took up his position with the university and their two sons have attended local primary and secondary schools.
The couple says they have enjoyed being linked to both the university community and their Parkville neighbourhood, with Prof Oades coaching the Flemington Colts Junior Football Club for multiple years.

Exterior metalwork on the townhouse echoes the shapes of trees in the nearby parks.
The home is zoned for University High School and is near the local golf course, sports facilities and hospitals.
Jellis Craig Moonee Valley and Kensington director Simon Mason says the townhouse delivers
an exceptional lifestyle shaped by its rare dual outlook across both Royal Park and Princes Park.
“Wrapped in natural light with a unique corner orientation capturing uninterrupted parkland and city views, the home blends tranquillity, convenience and walkability – in a way that has defined the owners’ family life for nearly a decade and stands as the hallmark of what makes Parkville one of Victoria’s most desirable addresses,” Mr Mason says.
Timber flooring, automated lighting, a laundry, extensive storage and two garage spaces complete the package.
The townhouse will be auctioned with a $1.75m-$1.85m range at 6.30pm on December 11.
