Last Listing description (March 2026)

A rare Victorian terrace in the heart of Carlton, this 1880s residence combines timeless character with modern comfort and convenience. One of only three in the row, it offers up to four bedrooms, three bathrooms plus a powder room, and the coveted advantage of two car spaces.

Behind its grand Victorian faade, the home opens to a versatile layout. The ground floor includes elegant reception and dining rooms, along with a generous informal family living zone and a renovated, wellequipped Gaggenau kitchen at the rear. With the added advantage of a full bathroom and a separate powder room on this level, the front living room easily converts to an additional ground floor bedroom, offering excellent flexibility.

Upstairs, two large bedrooms each feature ensuite bathrooms with heated flooring, along with a westfacing veranda and a separate laundry. A further bedroom on the top floor enjoys elevated easterly views, while throughout, builtin robes, multiple linen cupboards, and internet cabling ensure everyday practicality.

Thoughtful modern comforts include hydronic heating, split system units, an alarm system, and two fireplaces, while a wine cellar and abundant storage add further appeal.

Outdoor living is well accommodated with a secure rear terrace that doubles as car parking, complemented by a front carport and veranda off Drummond Street. This is a home of rare scale and flexibility, marrying Carltons Victorian heritage with exceptional innercity convenience.

Within walking distance to Carlton Woolworths, everyday shopping could not be easier. Just moments from Melbourne University, major hospitals, the Royal Exhibition Building and Gardens, trams, buses, and the vibrant dining culture of Lygon Street, everything that defines innerMelbourne living is close at hand. Victoria Market, the CBD, and the new Grattan Street Metro station are also only a short stroll away.

For interstate and frequent business travellers, the airport is more conveniently reached from Carlton than from much of Melbournes east and southeast, with typical car travel times often 30 minutes or less outside of peak hours (approx.).
