746 Drummond Street, Carlton North, Vic 3054

This elegant modern balcony terrace combines traditional Victorian elements- high ceilings and graciously proportioned rooms - with a contemporary emphasis on maximum light and state-of-the-art fittings. Elevated from the street and looking out over the renowned Drummond Street plantation, its classic proportions complement the façades of its Boom-period neighbours.

Entry is to a wide light-filled hallway - no railway corridor effects here! - opening to a pleasant study-sitting room (readily convertible to a third bedroom), and to a superbly fitted tiled bathroom with separate bath and shower. A larger than normal powder room houses a concealed laundry and storage area. The hallway opens out to the open plan kitchen and entertaining area. Here, the generous dimensions of the floor plan are enhanced by clerestory windows, rising to second storey height. A wall of glass flows out to a porch overlooking the landscaped courtyard garden, which has provision for off-street parking from a right-of-way. Both front and back gardens are equipped with an automatic drip watering system and sensored lights. The kitchen - fitted with Miele appliances, generous storage and caesarstone benches - will please the most discerning home chef.

A staircase from the centre of the house leads to an open area separating two spacious bedrooms, both with generous built-in wardrobes. The main bedroom, with views over the grassy plantation, has a fully tiled ensuite bathroom.

This exceptional residence, close to Rathdowne Village, two tram routes and parkland, features parquetry floors, ducted heating/cooling, alarm and video intercom. For low-maintenance executive living in this fine residential precinct, look no further!
