An Elegant Slice of Carlton History Victorian Terrace Living at Its Finest
Tucked behind a leafy verandah and set back from the prestigious Drummond Street, this classic Carlton Victorian terrace, one of a distinguished trio, offers a rare fusion of heritage grandeur and modern sophistication. Built in the mid-1880s on solid bluestone foundations, this stately home unfolds over three thoughtfully designed levels, offering 3 or 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a powder room perfect for families, entertainers, or those seeking a home with soul and flexibility.
Stepping through the front door, you're greeted by a wide central hallway, its high ceilings and period detailing a gentle nod to the home's storied past. On your right, elegant reception and formal dining rooms, ideal for entertaining, draw in natural light. Further along, the home opens into a spacious family zone at the rear a seamless blend of comfort and style, where a state-of-the-art Gaggenau kitchen with expansive benches, plentiful cabinetry, and quality appliances forms the heart of the home.
This ground level also offers excellent versatility, with a full bathroom and powder room cleverly located to allow the front rooms to function as guest quarters or additional living spaces.
The top level houses a peaceful third bedroom with serene eastern views ideal as a private retreat, home office, or creative space.
Below the main staircase lies a hidden gem: a generous sized wine cellar, accessed via a discreet under-stair storage room.
Modern comforts abound, with hydronic heating placed throughout, five split system units for climate flexibility, and built-in wardrobes in every bedroom. The home is also future-ready, with internet cabling to every level (except the cellar), a remote-monitored alarm system, and two original fireplaces.
A standout feature is the dual car accommodation: a front verandah/carport off Drummond Street and a secure rear parking space that doubles as a private entertaining courtyard with direct access to the kitchen and family room a rarity in inner-city Melbourne.
Location is everything, and here, you're steps from Melbournes best. From the cultural and green heart of the Royal Exhibition Gardens, to the culinary delights of Lygon Street, Melbourne University, leading hospitals, and the soon-to-open Metro Tunnel station on Grattan Street, every essential is just a stroll away. Even the iconic Queen Victoria Market and the CBD are within a 13-minute walk.
This is more than just a house. Its a lifestyle a timeless Carlton terrace that honours the past while embracing the future. Rarely does a home of such character, space, and convenience come to market.
