260 Elgin Street, Carlton, Vic 3053

Transformed by Nic Owen Architects with the signature style that is their trademark, this unforgettable Victorian terrace is the architect's own residence. c1866 character and Japanese inspired modernist ideas form a compelling combination throughout a 3 bedroom floor-plan that offers an environmentally conscious response to sustainable living in a classical inner city context. 3 downstairs bedrooms surround a sophisticated central bathroom featuring stone and spotted gum surfaces, double shower and Italian porcelain tiles. Upstairs living/dining areas enjoy the natural advantage of northerly aspects and incorporate an open-plan kitchen equipped with fully integrated Miele appliances and soft closing cabinetry. A sunny decked backdrop and an inspired attic loft studio space add further allure and a multi purpose single garage is an outstanding extra asset on an inner city allotment. An abundance of stylish 2 pac storage, water tank plumbed to w/c and laundry and Viridian acoustic glass that enhances acoustic and insulation quality lead a long list of attractions that put this iconic Victorian in a class of its own.
