Distinguished by its Georgian-inspired façade and extraordinarily deep garden setback, this captivating 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom dual-level terrace is outstanding. An attractive corner presence in an exclusive and distinctive row of only 3 is superbly enhanced by the large and leafy, front garden setting of this unique Victorian residence c1880 that also offering a sunny and secluded, rear entertainment courtyard and ROW presents a remarkable opportunity zoned to Princes Hill Secondary College. Stroll to Curtain Square and the Rathdowne Village, an exceptional Carlton North location is matched by the elegance, quality and functionality of this unparalleled property where period grace abounds: soaring ceilings with rosettes and cornices, high skirtings and double doors beneath a fanlight window leading to a versatile sitting room with a slate fireplace and garden outlook. The main living room introduces further grandeur with a black marble fireplace and a hand-painted stained-glass window that filters light through to the adjoining kitchen where the warmth of a timber ceiling and exposed brickwork complements an Ilve freestanding stove, Miele dishwasher and Velux skylight. A tessellated-tile bathroom with clawfoot bath and a marble vanity continues the home's heritage narrative, while situated on the first-floor are 3 bedrooms enjoying abundant natural light with a huge east-facing main bedroom and a second bedroom, both with built-in robes, cleverly accessing a shared contemporary ensuite/bathroom with a heated towel rail. The private rear courtyard offers a gas-plumbed BBQ and an external toilet making it ideal for alfresco entertaining, as well as providing additional space for future plans - architect-designed drawings for a luxury renovation/extension are available (STCA) allowing new owners to honour its past while shaping its future. An unsurpassed opening in a prized city-edge pocket that also includes a big laundry, floor heating, copious storage and sprinkler system, this compelling home stands proudly close to cafes, restaurants and shops, wine cellars, Nicholson Street trams, Edinburgh Gardens and primary school.
