25 Canning Street

Exclusively positioned in one of Carlton's most desirable pockets, directly opposite Murchison Square and just 100 metres (approx.) from the iconic Carlton Gardens and Melbourne Museum, this stunning c1880 residence has been masterfully transformed from a worker's cottage into a luxurious city-fringe home. Offering five generous bedrooms across a versatile double-storey layout (four downstairs and a private master retreat upstairs), the home has been custom-tailored for contemporary living, seamlessly blending Victorian charm with timeless style, premium appointments and valuable ROW access. The striking red-brick façade reveals four large ground-floor bedrooms, including a potential home office that connects to a plush bathroom with a shower over a bath and powder room. Bathed in natural light at the home's heart is an elegant atrium-style dining zone leading to a gorgeous central deck, alongside a sleek granite kitchen with quality stainless steel appliances (oven, induction cooktop, dishwasher) and extensive cabinetry. Set beneath double-height ceilings at the rear is a superb living area, where French doors open onto a private sun-soaked courtyard featuring a towering mural and pedestrian lane access. The crowning glory is a first-floor master retreat offering a king-sized bedroom with built-in robes, a covered north-facing balcony and sparkling mezzanine ensuite, also with a shower over a bath and separate w/c. In addition, there is a European laundry, split-system heating/cooling throughout, three decorative fireplaces, a Bosch alarm and automated Velux skylights. This impressive home is enviably placed just a short stroll to cosmopolitan Lygon Street with its cafés, retail stores, restaurants and cinema, as well as lively Brunswick Street, the University of Melbourne, Queen Victoria Market, the 96 tram and the CBD. Zoned to Carlton Gardens Primary School and University High School.
