810 Lygon Street, Carlton North, Vic 3054

This inviting Victorian terrace has been extensively extended by Built In Style to provide light-filled family living. Entered from a secure walled courtyard, the lace-trimmed verandah opens to an arched hallway which leads to a pleasant sitting room with plaster mouldings and an open fireplace flanked by two original cedar chiffoniers, and then to a bedroom with built-in wardrobes. A door from the hall leads to the new section of the house, built in 2001. Here there is an elegant fawn and grey bathroom, with over-bath shower and concealed laundry, then a timber-finished kitchen (with Blanco appliances and granite benchtops) overlooking a living and dining area which opens through a wall of glass to a small paved courtyard. Upstairs are two further bedrooms, both with quality built-in wardrobes, the main with a spacious ensuite bathroom. Climate control is provided by a mixture of panel heating and split-system airconditioning. The city-fringe location speaks for itself: there is a tram stop at the door, and Rathdowne and Lygon Villages are within easy walking distance. Princes Park and excellent primary and secondary schools are nearby.
