Carlton North VIC 3054

Shortlisted in the 2022 Victorian Architecture Awards Residential Category, this three bedroom, three bathroom Victorian has undergone a magical transformation. Behind a picture perfect faade lies a uniquely contemporary home, meticulously crafted over three designer levels and featuring terrazzo floors that extend through modern living, dining and a central courtyard whose extensive glazing seemingly brings the outdoors in and retracts to offer completely seamless entertaining. Soaring raked ceilings and marble counters feature in a sleek fully integrated Fisher&Paykel kitchen complete with pop-up exhaust, leather banquette seating, tiled feature wall and servery window to the courtyard, while a central staircase connects a rooftop terrace offering city skyline views to a basement level living space that incorporates a spacious laundry serviced by a laundry chute and dumb waiter. Exposed brick, Oak joinery and curved walls add architectural interest to this home whose numerous living zones and playfully fitted bedrooms offer the private retreat that perfectly reflects this home's name of Il Nido, the nest. A commitment to quality sees Japanese tiles and an imported Italian tub in fully tiled bathrooms, master bedroom with an original fireplace, walk-in robe and striking ensuite. Welsh slate adorns the exterior, designer lighting adds contemporary class, google nest system controls hydronic in-floor heating and refrigerated cooling and security system and keyless entry complete this singular home near transport, parklands and the shopping & caf precincts of Lygon Street and Nicholson Streets.
