172 Curtain Street, Carlton North, Vic 3054

Absolutely one of a kind, this gorgeous Victorian boasts an expanded double-storey design, first-class features and dual outdoor zones to enjoy - all in an enviably convenient Carlton North neighbourhood.

Every room bathed in natural light, the home's refined interior showcases two bedrooms (large master) both with built-in robes, as well as a stylish ensuite and main central bathroom - both with stone-top vanities and floor-to-ceiling tiles. Complete with high vaulted ceilings, the open-plan living/dining area is further enhanced by a stone-bench kitchen with breakfast bar, soft-close drawers, dishwasher and Neff cooking appliances. Step outside to enjoy the sunny north-facing courtyard with paved entertaining area, retractable awning, high fences for privacy and direct access to the ROW, plus a private balcony (from the master bedroom) with city skyline views. An outstanding city-fringe lifestyle package, this remarkable home also features hydronic heating (including bathroom towel rails) and split-system air conditioning, double-glazed windows (extension) and solid hardwood floors, along with a European laundry, built-in study desk (second bedroom) and handy attic storage space.

A short stroll to Lygon Street trams, Rathdowne Village and the open spaces of Curtain Square, it's also close to local schools (zoned to Carlton North PS and Princes Hill SC), as well as easy access to Melbourne University.
