Homes in this prestigious South Carlton precinct rarely become available for sale, particularly with this land holding, and now the opportunity presents itself in this celebrated postcode, renowned for its history and histrionics.
Step beyond the picket fence and beautifully manicured front garden into the home's charming interior with honey coloured polished floorboards, bright white walls with funky 1970s texturing and high ceilings accented with retro cornicing.
Two bedrooms are generously sized for private retreat and/or home-based work serviced by a large modern bathroom with sandy coloured tiles and natural ventilation with access directly into the Main bedroom.
Considerable room size and towering proportions are an immediate hallmark as you step into the oversized living area. Large enough to accommodate numerous items of furniture, it connects to the dining/kitchen area, with an impressive archway providing a degree of separation and leafy green views to the garden beyond.
Seldom are living spaces this voluminous in inner-city homes, the dimensions of this space will allow maximum flexibility for various room configurations.
A previously updated kitchen is stylish and bright, naturally lit by an abundance of windows and will cater to every occasion. Decorated in snowy white tones, it offers s/s appliances, generous storage and a large stone island bench smothered in beautiful patterned stone.
Beard Place (Off Lygon St) provides access via roller door to the gorgeous North facing rear yard. Vast and immaculately framed with overhanging plantings, trees and shrubbery.
Follow the brick pathway through the bright green lawn to a second WC and handy storeroom.
Expansive in size and private, this lovely garden is a veritable oasis amongst the buzz and bluestone of old Carlton town.
The generous land component offers a myriad of options (STCA) to enlarge and extend the home, perhaps construct a rear garage and studio, incorporate a luxe swimming pool amongst the greenery, or simply extend the footprint to create a sizeable family home with all the accommodation on one level.
Other features include Sizeable ROW access for car parking, ducted heating, air conditioning to the living area, plantation shutters, rain water tank and copious amounts of windows for tremendous light and natural ventilation.
The location is simply incomparable with all Lygon streets delights adjacent to you. The treasure that is the Carlton Gardens with all its fountains and flowers is on your doorstep and the bustle of the CBD is a picturesque 10min stroll away through Carlton's quaint period streetscape. Suitable for the Empty nester, downsizer or the astute buyer seeking to prise their way into the inner-city, establish themselves and enhance the home in the medium to long term.
