469 Nicholson Street, Carlton North, Vic 3054

Versatility takes on a particularly stylish form with this unique property, combining a handsome Victorian balcony terrace with a completely separate studio apartment at the rear. With its own entrance from the rear lane, the studio creates instant flexibility for rental income, guests, a home office or independent living.

Beyond the classic façade, a traditional double-arched hallway leads to an elegant formal living room with a bay window and original marble-mantelled fireplace, followed by a generous bedroom with floor-to-ceiling robes and an original open fireplace. A bathroom and bright open plan kitchen, dining and living area complete the ground floor, with the open plan space enjoying views across the private, leafy courtyard.

Upstairs, three large bedrooms include two with built-in robes and an impressive full-width main bedroom with direct access to the balcony. A modern central bathroom with a separate bath and walk in shower serves the upper level.

Includes hydronic heating, laundry and storage.

Accessed independently from the rear lane, the two-storey studio apartment brings a distinctly retro European flavour and plenty of personality. Downstairs, a compact kitchen and dining area sits alongside a cosy sitting alcove with built-in seating, concealed laundry and bathroom. Upstairs, a light-filled open plan space features built-in shelving, room for a desk and a bedroom area, creating a flexible retreat quite separate from the main residence. A split-system provides heating and cooling.

Step outside for trams, pizza and coffee, or stroll a little further to Rathdowne Village, Brunswick Street, local schools, Curtain Square and Edinburgh Gardens. It’s all part of what makes this pocket such a good place to call home.
