25-35 Garton Street, Carlton North

After 50 years of being lovingly maintained by the same owners, this grand family home in a prime Princes Hill position comes onto the market. With a wide 32.6m (approx.) frontage and exceptionally wide laneway access, the 603m2 (approx.) allotment offers exciting potential for a refresh or upgrade - a once-in-a-generation opportunity to live large less than 3km from the CBD.

The stunning original heritage interiors (circa 1901) offer beautifully preserved period details, hydronic heating throughout, bay windows, leadlight and stained glass, ceiling roses, decorative cornices, and picture rails. Expansive living and dining rooms and huge main bedroom off the evocative entry hall imbue the property with an immediate sense of grandeur, with further principal rooms and pristine central bathroom providing floor plan flexibility. The spacious and light-filled kitchen meals area features breakfast bar on wraparound bench, Bosch dishwasher, Miele oven and gas cooktop.

Outside a standalone studio, built above the 2 separate rear-access garages, features vaulted ceiling, polished floorboards, stunning bathroom, hydronic heating and air conditioning, and kitchen/meals area leading to a charming terrace with roof top views. A landscaped entertainer's courtyard filled with fruiting citrus trees, outdoor laundry and storage rooms is ideal for family entertaining. The secluded garden is a unique shady grove, kept fertile by a watering system and 3 water tanks (with combined 9500L capacity), and surrounded by rustic bluestone fences.

The incredible location is mere metres from Princes Park , an easy stroll or cycle to the Capital City Trail, Royal Park, and Melbourne Zoo. It's a short walk to the 1 & 6 trams on Lygon Street, and the 19 tram on Royal Parade, making for easy commutes to the city. Barkly Square shopping centre and Sydney Road's vibrant strip are minutes away and you're steps from zoned Princes Hill Primary School and Princes Hill Secondary College, and close to Melbourne Uni.

We donate a portion of our fee from every property transaction to the Woodards Foundation to support people experiencing homelessness, family violence and social isolation.
