3/467 Cardigan Street, Carlton

Set within one of Carlton's most distinctive heritage buildings in a beautiful garden sanctuary, this remarkable ground-floor residence delivers space, privacy and character in equal measure. Positioned just footsteps from the celebrated dining and café strip on Lygon Street and the University of Melbourne, the lifestyle appeal is undeniable. Occupying part of the heritage-listed Queen Elizabeth Maternal and Child Health Centre (circa 1861), the property combines historic charm with contemporary comfort. High ceilings and generous proportions reflect the building's rich past, while the layout offers the feel of a standalone home. A standout feature is the presence of two secluded outdoor terraces, including one with a prized northerly aspect which creates rare and versatile spaces for entertaining, relaxing or enjoying a morning coffee in the sun. Inside, two spacious double bedrooms are complemented by a large, well-appointed central bathroom. Comfort and security are assured with air conditioning, intercom entry and the added convenience of ground level off-street parking. Public transport options abound, with nearby tram, bus and the newly-opened Parkville loop station within an easy walking distance. One of only 20 residences within this tightly held boutique complex, this is a compelling opportunity to secure a unique Carlton home or a high-performing investment in an iconic and unusually tranquil setting.
