57 Palmerston Street, Carlton VIC 3053

Formerly one of Carlton's largest hotels, 'The Rose' (ca 1870) awaits transformation into a splendid single residence or luxury apartments (STCA). On a commanding corner site, here is a unique property 20 minutes' walk to the CBD, and close to the Carlton Gardens, cafe strips, Melbourne University and transport. Believed to have hosted the artist Paul Gauguin on his way to Tahiti in 1891, and later a centre for the Anti-Vietnam War movement, the hotel is now student accommodation, immaculately maintained and filled with light. A versatile floor plan offers 8 bedrooms, living rooms, a self-contained apartment, several kitchens and bathrooms, and a large garage. Including a cellar, some period detail, modern fittings, a balcony and roof garden with panoramic views, this landmark building is ready for the next exciting stage of its long and fascinating history.
