A leafy courtyard and classical façade conceal the inspired, interior designer-designed enhancement of this brilliant 2-bedroom Victorian where natural light throughout a stylish single-level interior is matched by the sun-splashed greenery of a secluded rear alfresco setting. Conveniently located in a prized Carlton North pocket between Rathdowne Village and the Edinburgh Gardens, this impeccably curated terrace combines traditional heritage character with clever modern elements creating a beautifully bright and contemporary milieu of stunning low-maintenance perfection. A wonderful whitewashed arched hallway provides an impressive welcome to an exquisite main bedroom with a high decorative ceiling, open fireplace and bespoke built-in robes, followed by a superb second bedroom fitted with customised robes/storage and sky-light. Central is a smart designer bathroom including a frameless-glass shower, while the warehouse-style patina of a concrete floor lines an open-planned living and dining zone complemented by a high-end kitchen filled with light that integrates a cooktop, oven, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, great storage and a breakfast bar. Backed by full-height glazing, French doors and a glorious garden view, easy indoor-outdoor living and entertaining is a fabulous focus of this exceptional home featuring a large high-wall courtyard at the rear for private and sunlit enjoyment. Other attributes include a laundry, ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling, premium light fittings, custom cabinetry, high-quality floorboards, and rear lane access. A design-driven delight for an effortless city-edge lifestyle, this outstanding brick residence presents an opportunity that's not to be missed within short walking distance to local cafes, wine bars, gastropubs and fine dining establishments, Carlton Farmers Market, Curtain Square and Edinburgh Gardens, trams, schools and the University of Melbourne.
