A Carlton North icon
With its imposing Victorian façade and grand proportions, here is a wonderful opportunity to own an iconic and much-loved part of Carlton North's heritage. This notable Double story Victorian has been opulently and comprehensively restored and comprises two separate apartment residences and ground floor Rathdowne St facing commercial space, advantageously split into two titles. (Ground floor and 1st floor)
'Palazzo 629 ' occupies the ground floor of Rathdowne st (52 sqm. Month to month agreement in place)) and invites you into its quirky shopfront through its original period veranda, a straightforward layout comprises a retail/office space serviced by a private and modern WC.
Accessed via Henry Street (off Newry St) are two beautifully finished residential apartments, each with separate and dedicated entrances. Elegant in their detail and decoration, rich colours and warm hues blend with luxurious window furnishings, sophisticated light fittings, bespoke shelving and contemporary wet areas.
The ground floor apartment (35 sqm) sits on Henry St, has a cosy and snug living room, compact kitchenette, floorboards, period mantle & electric fireplace and luxe bathroom.
The larger upstairs two bedroom (87sqm) 'European Style' residence has grand proportions, floorboards and abundant storage. The centrepiece of this homes incredible uniqueness is the generous living room, resplendent with high ceilings and arched Victorian windows overlooking Rathdowne St and its shade-giving Plane Tree's. This exquisite room is complemented by integrated shelving, electric fireplace & mantle and Victorian ceiling rosette and cornices. Ducted evaporative cooling caters for all-seasons comfort & enjoyment.
Also, on this level are two well-proportioned and sunlit bedrooms (Both with BIRs, second bedroom with private Juliet balcony) a bright, sky-lit central bathroom and beautiful royal blue contemporary kitchen/dining area with lush built in Banquette seating.
A gantry ladder leads to a spectacular rooftop terrace (12sqm) edged by decorative artificial hedging and lined with artificial turf, it is wonderfully private with elevated neighbourhood views over slate rooftops, period chimneys and the horizon beyond.
The location is superb, immersed in the very heart of Rathdowne Street Village's cafes & shopping precinct and moments from Carlton North Primary School & Library, the leafy surrounds of Curtain Square also lie just across the street.
This opportunity will serve those seeking a family home to perhaps combine and operate their commercial enterprise in one footprint, the downsizing home buyer moving closer to the CBD, or a multi-generation family seeking completely separate and private living arrangements. A legacy-minded investor can continue the apartments’ prosperous short-term stay possibilities or establish a more traditional lease arrangement and benefit from long-term capital growth. An integral part of the Rathdowne Street's Village rich history, blended property holding of this type is almost impossible to find and seldom changes hands. It provides a rare chance to call this very special piece of real estate your own.
