79 Princes Street, Carlton

This charming Victorian style Carlton terrace delivers a compelling blend of period charm and contemporary comfort with effortless access to the city's finest cultural and lifestyle amenities.

Step through the ornate cast iron lacework verandah and into a home that wears its heritage proudly. Original hardwood floors flow throughout, while high ceilings adorned with intricate cornices add to the home. Two well-proportioned bedrooms are serviced by a stylishly updated bathroom featuring white subway tiles, a built-in bathtub with over-bath shower and glass screen, wall-mounted vanity and dark floor tiles, all within a combined bathroom and laundry.

Toward the rear, the home opens into a light-filled open-plan living, dining and kitchen zone, anchored by a split system for year-round comfort and flooded with natural light through twin skylights. The kitchen offers white cabinetry, a gas cooktop, built-in electric oven, white tiled splashback, stainless steel rangehood and ample storage. A separate study completes the internal layout, an ideal work-from-home space or extra living space.

A door connects the study area to a brick-paved private courtyard providing a quiet outdoor escape. Rear laneway access with a roller door adds a practical dimension to this centrally located home.

Lygon Street's celebrated strip of restaurants, cafés and boutiques is just minutes on foot, while the University of Melbourne, Monash University Parkville Campus and Princes Park are all within easy reach. Queen Victoria Market is a short ride away, multiple tram routes operate along nearby Lygon Street, and Parkville Station is the closest train station for those needing rail access. This is inner-city living at its most connected.
