55 McIlwraith Street, Carlton North, Vic 3054

This imposing period terrace, constructed between the Victorian and Federation eras is set on a deep, elevated block in one of the area’s premier double-width streetscapes. One of six terraces known as ‘The Six Sisters’, it merges period splendour with contemporary flair, amid an easily maintained landscaped setting.

Welcomed by high ornate ceilings and Baltic pine floors, the home’s inviting interior features three well-proportioned bedrooms with built-in robes, all serviced by a stylish central bathroom and additional powder room (2nd WC) – both with marble-tiled floors and marble-top vanities.

A dedicated study zone adds to the appeal along with a vast light-filled open living/dining area to the rear adjoined by a bespoke kitchen complete with marble countertops, ample storage options and Miele/Bosch appliances.

Other standouts include hydronic heating and split system air conditioning, along with marble-mantle fireplaces, keyless entry and concealed laundry facilities.

Rounding out this remarkable home is a backyard sanctuary with paved entertaining area, retractable awning and high ivy-covered walls, plus a handy garden shed and off-street parking option via remote-control roller door to Munnering Lane.

Lygon Street trams around the corner along with the open spaces of Princes Park, it’s also close to the Inner-Circle Rail Trail, Rathdowne Village shops and eateries, Princes Hill Primary School and Princes Hill Secondary College (zoned to both) and the University and Hospital precincts.
