1042 Drummond Street, Carlton North, Vic 3054

Here is a rare opportunity to restore a substantial period residence on a superb allotment (502 sq.m. approx) at the northern end of gracious tree-lined Drummond Street. Offered in sound liveable condition, the house offers exciting potential for a second-storey extension (STCA) to transform it into a grand family residence retaining large areas of garden and outdoor living space.

From one side of the entry lobby open well-proportioned formal living and dining rooms with a 1930s style fireplace and etched glass doors. To the other side are three bedrooms, the main featuring a curved bay window overlooking the manicured front garden. A neat tiled bathroom contains a separate bath and shower. Running the full width of the house are a large kitchen open to a family room/ informal meals area. The sunroom to the rear is floored in handmade marble blocks; it adjoins the WC and laundry, which retains the original stone sinks and washing board.

The deep lawned garden consists of an outside kitchen, a brick garage with right-of-way access and a substantial 'man's shed'. This much-loved property is ready for a new lease of life in its enviable location close to Rathdowne and Nicholson Villages, bike paths and public transport.
