302 Cardigan Street, CARLTON, VIC

THE DEAL Ultra-solid construction, three levels of comfort, and the most sensational of positions, right by Melbourne’s heart of culture in Lygon Street. This is the quintessential Carlton lifestyle. The street’s rich foliage and Victorian terraces frame a façade that’s sure to compel from the outset, with interiors beyond built of double brick and concrete to help staying cool in summer, warm in winter, and whisper-quiet across the year. Robes and a bathroom with a marble vanity, bath, and shower serve a ground-floor guest room, while on a light-filled top level, robe-lined master and third bedrooms are joined by a smart central bathroom and western terrace glancing at landmarks and lush greenery. On a tremendous middle level, broad living and dining zones sit either side of a granite kitchen boasting stainless-steel appliances, while a sun-soaked eastern terrace proves sublime for a morning espresso, afternoon lost in a book, or late-night social drink after sampling the local cuisine. With an abundance of storage highlighting just how usable the home is, features include heating and cooling, tiled floors, a substantial laundry, oversized garage facing Powell Lane, and placement only metres from the University of Melbourne, major hospitals, transport options, Woolworths, and the bustling CBD. SEALS THE DEAL The abode is a true rarity of such space, quality, and liveability no more than a short stroll from icons in Brunetti, Tiamo, Donati’s Fine Meats, Cinema Nova, Pidapipó, D.O.C, Johnny’s Green Room, the Clyde Hotel, and countless others.
