Carlton VIC 3053

A true Carltonian
Ensure a place in the annals of Carlton legend by continuing your life story in this refreshed Victorian terrace in the coveted suburb's most historic precinct, metres from the regal Carlton Gardens with its fountains and flowers and the extraordinary Royal Exhibition Building. Charming, quaint and reminiscent of Number 10 Downing Street's flat-fronted formality, this essentially Carltonian brick property would make an ideal home at any life stage. Featuring flourishes of period detail throughout - including rich cocoa wooden accents, honey toned polished boards, crisp white washed walls, soaring ceilings with romantic bas-relief plasterwork and opulent light fittings - this historic property is enriched with quirky features and rare embellishments which contribute to its uniqueness.
Step in off Rathdowne St through the sturdy decorated timber door, speckled with lead lighting to the immediate left wherein lies the first bedroom, beautifully positioned at the front of the home. This versatile room may be utilised as a private bedroom or would make a lovely office/study with views over Rathdowne Street. Continue to the central lounge with decorative open fire place, ceiling rose and cornices, this cosy hub of the home leads through to a separate open-plan kitchen/ dining room filled with brilliant sun light, floor-to-ceiling storage and a quality Smeg oven. Peel back a wall of bifold doors to enjoy the picturesque courtyard with handy storage shed and lush plantings, perfect for a chilled Proseco on a balmy summers evening. Double wooden gates swing open to the Rathdowne Place ROW, ideal for private access to the home or perhaps for zipping the Vespa into the back.
