153 Drummond Street, Carlton, Vic 3053

A celebrated position in Carlton's 'Little Italy' quarter of world class restaurants, offers all the potential of a mixed-use zone – so the next hot new restaurant could be on this prominent corner of Drummond and Pelham St.

The street appeal is undeniable, with the old-world grandeur of an ornate Victorian era terrace proudly on display from the property's east-facing frontage.

Dramatic lacework steel balconies, tessellated tiling and a high rising rooftop to unlock city views distinguishes the classic inner-city home and its turn of the century style.

What surprises is the impressive and versatile layout within – a multi-level residence with 4 bed, 2 bath, 3 toilets and a commercial sized kitchen that could be the makings of a hospitality venture (STCA).

The front living room enjoys lovely outlooks across the flourishing cumquat tree and the leafy landscape surrounding the Melbourne Museum and the Carlton Gardens.

A ground floor bedroom has access to a modern bathroom just outside the internal laneway, with further bedrooms up the grand timber staircase that present CBD views through the character sash windows. 

Some modern touches include continuous hot water, split system heating cooling, elegant lantern pendant lighting, and Colorbond fencing around the concreted courtyard, which could be used as a car space abutting the rear laneway.

Coming to market after three generations of ownership, this is a landmark sale that creates opportunity in one of the most beloved parts of Melbourne, in walking distance to Melbourne University and RMIT as well as, city attractions including the State Library, the Italian dining promenade of Lygon St, Queen Victoria Market, and all the lifestyle of the city including sporting events at the MCG, art galleries, and riverside walking tracks.
