Carlton VIC 3053

An elegant and superbly-enhanced 3 or 4 bedroom balcony terrace, Risdon House with its beautiful faade overlooks exclusive treelined Neill Street that culminates peacefully in parkland. A classic decorative lace and wisteria-fringed profile with a tessellated tile-edged herb garden provides the perfect introduction to this outstanding Victorian residence merging exquisite heritage character and flexible modern design. Light and airy easy-living in an immaculate milieu of style and refinement defines the flawlessly fresh and inviting interior that extends effortlessly to a sun-filled and secluded, north-facing rear garden. Lined with high ceiling roses and Spotted Gum flooring, an arched hallway leads to a versatile lounge or bedroom with bespoke storage and a marble fireplace while further along a bedroom opens to a tranquil vertical-garden light court. Also overlooking this restorative outdoor space is a smart central bathroom and an excellent gourmet kitchen with Smeg appliances, stone countertops and mirrored splashback. Further at the rear, an open-plan dining and living area with its tall, windowed, double-glazed bifold doors presents an idyllic outlook and seamless access to an entertainment deck edged in espaliered apple trees. Upstairs lies a 2nd bathroom with a separate shower, deep Japanese-style bath and heated towel rack before a delightful 3rd bedroom and great-sized 4th with built-in robes and balcony views. Also includes European laundry, split-system heating/cooling, Jasmine McCelland designed understairs cabinetry/wine fridge space, sub-floor ventilation fan, wool roof insulation, Perry Bird Pickets wrought-iron fence and load-bearing rear roof for future expansion. Risdon House is a remarkable city-edge sanctuary offering a relaxed Carlton lifestyle in the Princes Hill Secondary College zone near Rathdowne Village cafes, Lygon Street shopping, Melbourne University, Queen Victoria Market, hospitals precinct and trams to the CBD.
