178 Fenwick Street, Carlton North

Sitting just steps away from Lygon Street, Barkly Cottage is a classic Carlton terrace offering a sense of history and the promise of a glittering future. Ready for you to move in yet boasting plentiful untapped potential, it presents a prime opportunity for those looking to make their mark in this much-adored Inner Melbourne neighbourhood.

With the façade’s grand parapet and decorative wrought-iron frieze showcasing the home’s Victorian heritage, step inside and see high ceilings and period flourishes including moulded archway and ceiling rose. Two bedrooms host built-in robes, with the front room featuring an eye-catching decorative fireplace with regal mirrored mantel.

The central living space flows through to a rear kitchen, bathroom and laundry that offer great scope for enhancement, and the North-facing courtyard offers rear laneway access and the space for possible extension or upgrade (STCA).

The impeccable location assures an enviable lifestyle right near the centre of Melbourne, with trams, Rathdowne Village cafés, Princes Park, Princes Hill Primary/Secondary and Melbourne Uni all just steps from your door. Walk to Lygon Street's iconic Carlton strip, Cinema Nova, Fitzroy Pool, Brunswick Street, Edinburgh Gardens, Royal Park, Barkly Square and much more.
