Overview

Timeless Victorian charm in the heart of Carlton

This characterful Victorian terrace offers an exceptional blend of period elegance and contemporary comfort, all within moments of the suburb's finest cafes, restaurants, parks and institutions. The property announces itself with classic street appeal: a white rendered facade framed by a traditional covered veranda adorned with decorative fretwork, complemented by a white picket fence. Inside, original detail takes centre stage. The master bedroom is a true standout, featuring an ornate open fireplace, decorative cornicing, high ceilings and rich hardwood floors. A second bedroom generous in size also features hardwood floors. The living room connects through glass sliding doors to a private brick-paved courtyard, a sheltered outdoor retreat ideal for morning coffee or relaxed entertaining. Split system air conditioning and heating ensure year-round comfort throughout the home. The kitchen and dining room form the functional heart of the home, fitted with white high-gloss cabinetry, a tiled splashback, gas cooktop, electric oven, dishwasher and ample storage space. A separate laundry with washer and dryer connections rounds out the practical appointments. The bathroom impresses with a skylight providing natural light, a sleek curved bath with shower overhead, heated towel rail and substantial single vanity. Additional storage is provided via attic access, and a backyard with rear right-of-way access and roller door completes the picture. Positioned directly opposite Carlton Primary School and within its enrolment zone, and also zoned for University High School. The University of Melbourne is essentially on the doorstep, while Lygon Street's renowned dining and café strip, Lygon Court and an array of tram routes are all within easy walking distance. Parkville Train Station is easily accessible providing swift connections to the CBD and beyond. Neill Street Linear Reserve, Princes Park and Carlton Gardens are nearby for extended outdoor recreation. We donate a portion of our fee from every property transaction to the Woodards Foundation to support people experiencing homelessness, family violence and social isolation.
