55-57 Faraday Street, CARLTON VIC 3053

These two substantial residences, offered on one title, represent a rare opportunity to acquire an historically significant property in the exclusive Carlton Gardens precinct, just a few minutes walk to Lygon Street and the CBD. Adjoining the wide intersection of Canning and Faraday Streets, both offer versatile floor plans and feature open fireplaces and a wealth of other Boom-period detail. Number 57, with views over the Canning Street plantation, has been partially modernised: it comprises four bedrooms (three plus study), an expansive living and dining area, an updated kitchen and bathroom, and a garage which once would have been a carriage entry. No 55, with an elegant iron lace balcony and tall verandah pillars, includes a handsome reception hall, three bedrooms, a large kitchen and a living room. Both houses have courtyards and outbuildings. In sound structural condition, these distinctive residences await an inspired transformation into some of the inner citys finest real estate.
