956 Lygon Street, Carlton North VIC 3054

Being fortunate enough to secure this irresistible Edwardian home is to enter a sanctuary of style and space that leaves Lygon Street far behind - yet still keeps all the location's advantages - think trams, Princes Hill Primary School and Princes Park all so conveniently close. The period integrity of refined, impeccably preserved original proportions is illustrated by the hardwood floorboards, fretwork and romantic pressed metal ceilings of an evocative hall, a superb sitting room and two ground floor double bedrooms including a stunning, flexible front room that could be used as a bedroom/ home office or sitting room. Above and beyond, the mood moves to modern with dramatic, dynamic effect. A travertine bathroom and a huge upstairs main bedroom in a zone of its own complete the accommodation before living and dining spaces originally planned by renowned architect Robert Simeoni deliver a fresh interpretation of 'indoor-outdoor' accompanied by a central tranquil courtyard and designer decking to the rear. The kitchen/meals area's marble surfaces and integrated Liebherr fridges highlight the luxury levels of a c1915 home that successfully transcends time and concludes with the significant city edge location with secure garaging for one vehicle with plenty of additional room for storage. Other features include quality Miele kitchen appliances, hydronic heating throughout, split system heating/cooling and separate powder room.
