With its distinctive triple-arched balcony and ornate Italianate facade, this Victorian terrace makes an elegant first impression steps from Carlton Gardens. Renovated and extended to an exceptional standard, it brings contemporary sophistication to its rich period character, with quality finishes and meticulous attention to detail giving this classic city-fringe home a style all its own.
Impressive proportions, soaring ceilings and an assured sense of style define the interior. The arched hallway leads to an elegant formal living room, with doors opening to a separate formal dining room, both featuring original fireplaces with marble mantels.
At the rear, a beautifully appointed kitchen and meals area opens through glass doors to an east-facing deck and courtyard, with a pedestrian gate providing access to a wide bluestone right of way. High-quality appliances and extensive custom-built cabinetry will appeal to those who love to cook, while a freestanding island bench with stone tops incorporates a breakfast bar and built-in refrigerator drawer.
Upstairs, three bedrooms with built-in robes share a central family bathroom with a shower over the bath. A beautiful full-width living room or potential fourth bedroom offers an inviting retreat, with an open fireplace and access to the balcony.
Extras include hydronic heating, ducted heating and cooling, storage, custom-built cabinetry throughout and plantation shutters.
Walk to the city, Carlton Gardens, trams, universities and medical facilities, along with the cafes, shops and restaurants of Gertrude, Brunswick and Lygon Streets. An exceptional location with so much to enjoy within easy reach.
