Disguised behind a high fence and a hedge that may or may not whisper ancient secrets, lies a home unlike any other. This is 114 Princes Street, Carlton North: a place where time folds, bricks breathe, and the garden hums a gentle lullaby.
Step beyond the unassuming facade and into your own private wonderland - lush, layered, and set well back from the world. Here, the air is different. Quieter. Butter-soft and dreamily green. A bespoke renovation has reanimated this period beauty, now pulsing gently with modern life, waiting for its next chapter to be written - by you.
Inside, original features nod politely to the past while sleek concrete, glass casings, and exposed brickwork anchor you firmly in the now. The living and dining areas shimmer with north-westerly light, gently filtered by the glass like sunbeams passed through a prism of calm. There's an open fireplace for wintery epiphanies and quiet rebellion against the cold.
The north-facing garden? It's not a garden. It's a realm. Trees murmur overhead. The lawn is practically meditative. The timber deck stands ready for wine-fuelled soliloquies or spontaneous alfresco feasts under the stars.
Two bathrooms that would make boutique hotels blush. A primary suite that feels like the presidential quarters of a secret woodland retreat. A third bedroom that gazes longingly across the garden like it's writing poetry about it.
There's even a shed, possibly magical, perfect for tools, firewood, or storing plot twists. EV charging capability, ROW access, and rear gate parking - because even enchanted dwellings deserve practical perks.
And when you do decide to leave your leafy kingdom? Carlton Baths, Rathdowne Village, Curtain Square, and trams that travel like enchanted carriages on Lygon and Nicholson Streets await.
This isn't a home. It's a green-laced dream, wrapped in whispers and waiting to be yours.
