96 Barkly Street, Carlton, Vic 3053

Here is an Italianate terrace of special warmth and character, filled with light, just metres from the Carlton Gardens, Lygon St and Melbourne University, within walking distance of the CBD, and zoned for Uni High. An arched Baltic-floored hallway opens to a charming sitting room with an open fireplace and striking Art Nouveau-style cornice detail, then to a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes. The kitchen, functional with plenty of storage, includes a generous informal meals area. To the rear, a large bathroom with laundry facilities opens to a north-facing private courtyard with lane access. Upstairs are two further bedrooms: the vast former main bedroom overlooking the trees in quiet Barkly Street, and a rear bedroom with dressing room, ensuite and large balcony. Including a cellar accessed from the living room, this charming residence features ample storage, open fireplaces and other period detail.
