472 Station Street, Carlton North, Vic 3054

On a deep allotment with an inviting, sunny garden unfolding at the rear this historic Hawthorn brick residence offers comfortable family living with scope to add value in a prime location close to Rathdowne Village, schools and transport. Entry is to a wide hallway with polished floorboards, from which open linked sitting and dining rooms; the sitting room has an open fireplace, and both have ornate Victorian plaster detail. In the centre of the house is a kitchen with lots of storage space and the original pine overmantel, and a neat study alcove with Baltic fitted cabinets. Opening from the kitchen is a delightful coved-ceilinged informal living and dining area, with north facing windows and access to a sunny paved courtyard. To the rear are a family bathroom and separate laundry.

The landing at the head of the cedar-balustraded staircase leads forward to a double bedroom and study opening from an anteroom, a smaller bedroom and a fully-tiled bathroom. To the rear is a large third bedroom with open fireplace and treetop views. The suburban-size garden, with lawn, fruit trees and a vege patch, offers exceptional outdoor living space. An attractive brick garage/studio with storage opens from a wide bluestone-paved right of way. Recent additions to this welcoming property are solar hot water and photo-voltaic panels. Here is a home of character and distinction, with one of North Carltons best addresses.
