13 Canning Street

Exuding timeless appeal, this elegant c1885 double storey terrace embraces a premier parkside address opposite beautiful Murchison Square and metres from Carlton Gardens. Tastefully extended while capturing the glorious west aspect, it blends beautiful presentation, Victorian character and a majestic garden oasis to ensure a classic Carlton lifestyle on the edge of the city. Beyond the handsome tuckpointed façade, you are welcomed by high ceilings and polished floorboards that flow into a generous bedroom with custom built-in robes, gorgeous park views and a sparkling nearby bathroom off the arched hallway. Further on is a large kitchen with Miele fixtures (oven, gas cooktop, dishwasher), masses of storage and a handy servery, plus a spacious dining zone with a tranquil side courtyard and superb living area that spills via French doors onto a stunning alfresco sanctuary set by a vine-covered wall, which has an entertaining terrace and lush gardens surrounding a water feature. Illuminated by sky windows, the first floor offers two equally generous bedrooms with built-in robes (one overlooks the leafy square; the other has a quiet rear balcony). Also upstairs is a dedicated home office and bright bathroom with a shower and bathtub. This gorgeous property features zoned ducted heating/cooling, an alarm system, gas hot water, a garden shed and an enviable location just a short stroll to cosmopolitan Lygon Street with its cafes, retail stores, restaurants and cinema, as well as lively Brunswick Street, Melbourne University, Queen Victoria Market, the 96 tram and the CBD.
