696 Rathdowne Street, Carlton North, Vic 3054

In one of Carlton North's most treasured pockets where capital investment is highly rewarded, this magnificently located property with semi-detached dwelling (circa 1890s) is certain to arouse genuine excitement and immediate interest. Offered for the first time in more than 50 years, this is a rare chance to secure a slice of one of the suburb's most coveted addresses enjoying every inner-north attraction including Lygon Street restaurants, Rathdowne Village shops & cafes, Capital City Trail, Princes Park, Melbourne University, schools and a choice of tram and bus routes to the city. Affording immediate comfort, the three-bedroom home has great bones and represents an opportunity to enjoy all of the considerable charms (original OFPs, corbelled hallway arch, picture rails & Baltic pine floor in living room) while contemplating future enhancements. Revived in the 80s, the main bathroom and kitchen while more than functional, could be transformed to reflect the home's period character. Includes small office with phone line, storage rooms, outside 2nd toilet & laundry, plus ROW to Mary Street. Repainted and with extensive hardwood flooring added in recent years, this is a compelling prospect for those wanting a vibrant city-edge lifestyle.
