179 Drummond Street

Carlton VIC 3053

Part of the architecturally significant 'Lothian Buildings', this historic balcony terrace (circa 1865) offers grand proportions, a 4-car underground garage, and has undergone an extensive renovation and extension, transforming it into one of the area's finest homes in a prestigious Carlton location.
Set behind a meticulously landscaped garden, this remarkable home opens from a tiled veranda to a wide reception hall, leading to superbly proportioned sitting and dining rooms. A high-ceilinged extension incorporates a dramatic meals area with glass atrium and central courtyard, flowing seamlessly to an informal living room overlooked by a well designed, bespoke kitchen with Miele and Barazza appliances, custom cabinetry and adjoining butler's pantry. Through tall iron-framed doors is a European-style entertaining courtyard with built-in BBQ leading to a separate studio or fourth bedroom with ensuite. The formal staircase from the front hallway ascends to the main bedroom with spectacular ensuite and separate dressing room, plus an accessible wide balcony with breathtaking views over Drummond Street and the CBD. Upstairs also features two further bedrooms (both with ensuites), and a striking mezzanine library and study via convenient rear stairs off the living room. Further features include a separate powder room, large laundry, cellar, 4-car underground garage entered from Ormond Place, zoned air conditioning, hydronic and underfloor heating, garden irrigation system and premium inclusions throughout.
