9/1009 Rathdowne Street, Carlton North, Vic 3054

'Rathdowne Gardens', at the northern end of Rathdowne Street, is one of the area's most sought-after residential complexes, redeveloped from the old North Carlton tram depot, and offering ready access to Rathdowne and Nicholson Street Villages, Princes Park, and tram and bus transport.

This well-designed and immaculately presented town residence is approached through a tranquil well-maintained communal garden. Entry is to an expansive open plan living and dining area, separated by a large U-shaped kitchen; a wall of glass opens to a sunny paved courtyard with car access from a right of way. A central staircase leads to two large bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, separated by a bright bathroom/laundry and separate WC. Features include high ceilings, quality carpets, hydronic heating and security entrance. The title includes an additional designated undercover parking space.

Here is a rare opportunity to enter this tightly held city-edge development -- the ideal first home or down-sizing residence, with superb investment potential.
