Nope, you're not dreaming ... that incredibly wide frontage really does belong in Carlton North. Formerly Melton Dairy, and on a block size of approx 635 sq meters, this home feels less like city living and more like a Mediterranean family retreat. Think sprawling spaces made for gathering, breezy garden corners to escape into, and a rhythm that balances everyday life with a touch of holiday ease.
Step inside and the sense of scale continues. The entry hall unfolds to one side with a dedicated study, a bedroom and central bathroom, while across the way an oversized living room with soaring vaulted ceilings and an open fireplace spills out to a sunny terrace and private walled garden. At the rear, the there is a chef's kitchen, with quality appliances, generous storage, a walk-in pantry and plenty of bench space, flowing seamlessly to open-plan dining and family living, complete with its own fireplace.
Upstairs, the family-friendly layout shines. A central bathroom serves four bedrooms, with the front room opening onto a private terrace where city glimpses peek through. The main bedroom is a true retreat, offering a walk-in robe, ensuite, and terrace access with leafy views over the garden.
Outside, the garden extends to what was once a commercial kitchen, now with potential to become a large garage or creative workspace (STCA). With its own separate entrance, a self-contained two-bedroom apartment sits above, featuring open-plan living, a well-equipped kitchen, and sunlit north-facing terraces that overlook the leafy garden below.
