A princely 1880s profile in a pivotal Carlton location beautifully introduces 'Windermere', an Italianate Victorian terrace that with easy rear lane access and secure parking via Victoria Place, presents an exceptional city-edge opportunity only moments to surrounding blue-chip amenities. Stroll with ease to Rathdowne Village cafes, Lygon Street restaurants, Curtain Square and the University of Melbourne from the convenient position of this inviting double-storey residence with an outstanding presence highlighted by an arched colonnade and tessellated-tile veranda revealing a flexible layout of up to 4 bedrooms. Delivering immediate comfort and exciting scope for future enhancement, a recently repainted interior with high ceilings, timber floorboards and hallway entry leads to 2 versatile ground-floor bedrooms, before a central living room (split-system air-conditioning) and a separate kitchen featuring stainless-steel appliances and soft-close storage. Situated upstairs is a huge north-facing bedroom, storeroom or possible study and a generous additional bedroom, while the adaptable floorplan is superbly complemented by a city-view bathroom with a clawfoot bath and separate shower, along with a full-size laundry. A private courtyard edged in garden beds unfolds at the rear offering a peaceful place to relax and entertain, backed by secure roller door access from Victoria Place for prized off-street parking. Completely comfortable across 2 levels, 'Windermere' represents a compelling proposition for investors seeking a prized Carlton address with proven lifestyle appeal, and owner-occupiers looking confidently to the future with plans to execute a value-adding renovation of stunning architectural refinement. Zoned to Princes Hill Secondary College, this classic terrace offers superb proximity to many of Melbourne's famous dining and shopping precincts, educational institutions, major hospitals, Carlton Baths, parklands and public transport.
