906 Lygon Street, Carlton North

This beautifully presented character filled single-storey residence delivers a rare blend of period charm and practical family living, with an outstanding lifestyle address to match.

The rendered facade, tessellated tile entry path, diamond-pane leadlight windows creates a distinguished first impression, hinting at the character that continues throughout. Inside, the home retains its original elegance — high ceilings, intricate cornices and decorative fireplaces create a warmth and authenticity that modern builds simply can't replicate.

A generous living room anchors the home, featuring a brick fireplace, a pendant chandelier and rich hardwood flooring. Flowing through to the dining room, the space connects to a well-appointed kitchen featuring white cabinetry, a glass splashback, freestanding gas stove, electric oven, dishwasher and a breakfast bar, with tiled flooring running through both spaces.

Three well-proportioned bedrooms each enjoy high ceilings and ornate period cornicing. One bedroom features a decorative brick fireplace, while one bedroom is fitted with full-height built-in robes. The central bathroom includes a bathtub, separate shower and vanity.

Outdoors, a covered alfresco dining area is ideal for entertaining across the seasons, opening to a paved rear courtyard with established garden beds. A large separate double garage with roller door completes the package.

Zoned to both Princes Hill Primary School and Princes Hill Secondary College, the property is exceptionally well positioned for families. Lygon Street trams run directly from the front door, Jewell Station is within comfortable reach, and Barkly Square shopping centre is minutes away. Princes Park, the University of Melbourne and the cafes and dining of Lygon Street itself are all on the doorstep.

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.
