Jubilee House: Graceful Terrace Circa 1887 with Prime Potential

Retaining plenty of period character and brilliant internal space making it a truly appealing proposition for all buyers, this magnificent 3/4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom Victorian Terrace known as 'Jubilee House' is a seldom offered opportunity in a spectacular Carlton location within the University High School zone.
Beautiful high ceilings with decorative roses, sash windows, exquisite marble open fireplaces, and an air of 1887 charm flows throughout this remarkable double storey dwelling. The front formal lounge is a great space and has the potential to be transformed into a fourth bedroom, while the adjoining formal dining room opens into the expansive central living zone which consists of a bright family/meals space, atrium, and kitchen with island bench and appliances including a stainless steel cooktop.
The second storey is highlighted by the enormous master bedroom which has ample built-in robe storage, large ensuite, and access to the iron lace balcony terrace with views down to the scenic tree-lined Kay Street below. The other 2 bedrooms enjoy mirrored BIRs (1 bed has a built-in desk) as well as easy access to the neat central bathroom, while other features include a downstairs powder room, separate laundry, ducted heating, reverse cycle cooling, ceiling fans, and a secure internal car space accessed via a laneway. This internal car space could also make a superb private courtyard and garden.

Liveable as is but with scope for modern updates, this is an unmissable opportunity in an amazing location just moments to Rathdowne Village shops, trendy bars, cafes and restaurants on nearby Johnston Street and Brunswick Street, Lygon Street attractions, University of Melbourne, Carlton Gardens with the Melbourne Museum and Royal Exhibition Building, Nicholson Street trams into the city, and easy access to the Eastern Freeway.
