Overview

This substantial double-storey Victorian residence, located on a corner block just two blocks from the vibrant Lygon Street and a mere 350 meters from Melbourne's CBD, perfectly blends historic charm with city fringe convenience.

Its classic double-brick façade, complemented by ornate vaulted ceilings and stucco walls, sets an inviting tone, while the polished Baltic pine floors inside enhance the feeling of warmth and space. The expansive living room features a marble fireplace and built-in robes that could serve as an additional bedroom, providing flexibility for varied household needs.

An updated kitchen showcases stone countertops and quality fixtures, supported by generous storage and an adjoining meals area—a functional space for everyday living and entertaining. Stepping outside, the large private courtyard offers a tranquil setting for morning relaxation or social gatherings, with room for one to two cars via rear access.

Upstairs, the impressive main bedroom boasts a decorative fireplace, built-in robes, and access to a decked balcony that affords city views—a rare feature extending the living space and connecting the indoors with the urban environment. A second bedroom upstairs also includes built-in robes, serviced by a bathroom equipped with both bath and shower facilities.

Additional features such as split system heating and cooling, panel heating, gas hot water, and handy under-stair storage enhance comfort and practicality throughout the home.

Positioned just meters from the greenery of Argyle Square and within walking distance to cafes, restaurants, retail shops, Carlton Gardens, major universities, the hospital precinct, and the Queen Victoria Market, this home offers lifestyle appeal for owner-occupiers seeking character and location advantages, or investors targeting future potential.
