Rear 583 Rathdowne Street

Formerly an original stable, this stand-alone warehouse is a rare and memorable part of Carlton North's laneway fabric. Quietly tucked away, it offers a lovely sense of privacy while still being moments from the best of the neighbourhood. Inside, soaring cathedral ceilings, excellent natural light and generous open-plan living and dining spaces give the home a real sense of volume, character and ease. The layout is simple, flexible and full of personality, with a loft-style bedroom, kitchen/meals area, updated bathroom and private courtyard garden creating a calm inner-city retreat. With its history, stand-alone nature and adaptable floorplan, it works beautifully as a private home, city base, home/studio or creative inner-north hideaway. A short walk to Rathdowne Village, Curtain Square, Carlton Baths, Lygon Street, Melbourne University and some of the area's best cafes, parks and lifestyle amenities, this is a distinctive home in a quietly tucked-away Carlton North position. Entry is via the laneway off Rathdowne Street, directly opposite the intersection of Rathdowne and Davis Streets.
