A beautiful, big wide double-fronted profile on one of Carlton's most attractive treelined streets creates a magnificent first impression and is just the beginning of a long list of outstanding features that make this superb 3 bedroom Victorian such a highly sought-after, city-edge opportunity. Side and rear lane ROW with effortless off-street parking enhance the secluded setting of this exceptional residence where a cleverly renovated interior designed for modern single-level living flows to an undercover alfresco area and a lush private garden. The classic rendered-brick façade with a lace-fringed veranda provides a picturesque introduction to a light-filled living room on polished floorboards that extends to 3 generous bedrooms including 2 with built-in robes. Complemented by a stylish subway-tiled bathroom with a frameless-glass shower, the layout reveals a north-oriented kitchen and meals area where gleaming stone benchtops, a walk-in pantry and European appliances including a stainless-steel cooktop, oven and integrated dishwasher make for easy day-to-day preparations. Just outside is a covered terrace for private entertaining when guests drop in while further is a deep rear garden with a stretch of lawn surrounding by leafy greenery, a storage space and remote-control door access for secure parking. Other attributes include a full-size laundry, split-system heating and cooling units, panel heaters and high ceilings throughout. Quietly situated on the corner of Strahan Lane in the Princes Hill Secondary College zone, this inviting single-storey home offering potential to further expand (STCA) if desired is a perfectly-presented lifestyle oasis only minutes from the city and close to Lygon Street, Carlton Primary, Rathdowne Village and Brunswick Street café and dining precincts, Carlton Gardens, University of Melbourne, major hospitals, Queen Victoria Market and trams.
