581 Canning Street, Carlton North, Vic 3054

This fine Italianate terrace occupies one of the best positions in North Carlton, overlooking the wide Canning Street plantation, and just a few minutes walk to Rathdowne and Nicholson Street Villages, transport, Princes Park and Melbourne University.

Entry is to an arched hallway, opening to a spacious bedroom (originally a reception room) with deep cornices. The hall leads past an understair storage area to the living and dining room, impressively large, with a window to a covered light court. To the rear are a kitchen, neat bathroom and separate laundry, and doors to the deep paved courtyard, with outbuildings and potential car access from a right of way. On the upper level, the front bedroom/retreat is magnificently proportioned, with large windows and views over the plantation. Two smaller bedrooms to the rear are both equipped with built-in wardrobes.

In sound well-presented condition, with abundant natural light and a flexible floor plan, this handsome property offers exciting scope for further renovation and extension (STCA).
