735 Drummond Street, Carlton North, Vic 3054

In a prominent corner position, this 1920's residence has been meticulously rebuilt to draw natural light from three sides. Overlooking the wide Drummond Street plantation, entry is from a covered porch to a wide hallway opening to a spacious bedroom with dressing room and elegant fully tiled semi-ensuite bathroom, then to a and a full-size concealed laundry. The gleaming polished timber floors continue into the expansive living and dining zone where a Jetmaster fireplace with marble mantel separates two sets of French doors opening to a paved north-facing courtyard with car access. Set to one side, the kitchen is fitted with a Smeg 6-burner range, integrated dishwasher, side-by-side refrigerator, caesarstone benches and soft-touch cabinetry.

A broad glass-balustraded staircase leads to the second level, where two large bedrooms are separated by a second luxuriously appointed bathroom. Both bedrooms have opaque glass fronted built-in wardrobes, and one has a private balcony commanding easterly views; the balcony opens into a storage area built into the roof gable. Featuring reverse-cycle airconditioning, security, cabling and premium fittings, this standout property is just a few minutes walk from Rathdowne Village, parkland and transport. Here is city-fringe family living at its low-maintenance best!
