Overview

'The Elgin Gallery' A distinguished Victorian shopfront residence with dual accommodation

Secure a remarkable piece of Carlton's architectural and cultural history with The Elgin Gallery, a Victorian shopfront residence and much-loved local landmark. Cleverly configured as two self-contained, double-storey one-bedroom dwellings with separate entrances, the property offers exceptional flexibility - ideal for dual occupancy, investment, or a versatile inner-city lifestyle. Set within one of inner Melbourne's most vibrant and walkable pockets, both north-facing homes have been thoughtfully updated for modern comfort while honouring the building's rich heritage. Beyond the classic filigree verandah, the original shopfront residence reveals a charming interior defined by original hardwood floors and exposed brickwork. A generous ground-floor living area is complemented by a functional timber kitchen, neat bathroom, and integrated laundry. Framed by bluestone walls and exposed timber beams, the lower level hosts a substantial bedroom accompanied by an adjoining studio or dressing room, highlighted by an ornamental fireplace-an evocative nod to the home's past. Accessed separately via Nicholls Lane, the upper residence (61A Elgin Street) enjoys a private first-level terrace that flows via French doors into a north-facing light filled living zone encompassing the entire level with ornamental fireplace, and modern Caesarstone kitchen with stainless steel DeLonghi appliances. Upstairs, the spacious bedroom includes built-in robes and is serviced by a pristine bathroom featuring a bath, shower and separate w/c, along with a dedicated laundry. With its first incarnation circa 1875 as a modest residence, 61 Elgin Street has evolved through many chapters of Carlton's history. Operating predominately as a shop and dwelling records indicate businesses have included a fruit, confectionery and tobacco business, and later a tailor's shop, and then a drapers shop. In 1985, the building was revitalised as an art gallery to lever off the abundant light filled spaces. It earned its enduring identity as The Elgin Gallery, or simply 'The Elgin'. This exceptional offering places cafés, boutiques, restaurants and cinema culture at your doorstep. Enjoy easy access to Carlton's celebrated amenities, cosmopolitan Lygon Street, the buzz of Brunswick Street, The University of Melbourne, Carlton Gardens, MacArthur Square, multiple transport options, and the CBD-delivering a lifestyle of rare convenience and enduring character.
