97-105 Rathdowne Street Carlton VIC 3053

An historic Victorian mansion c1868 proudly positioned within a substantial 1,172sqm approx. garden allotment directly opposite the Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens and advantaged by mixed use zoning, represents a significant opportunity to renovate as a magnificent luxury residence, boutique hotel, consulting or medical suites, offices or other commercial use (STCA). An exceedingly rare chance to establish a residential or business presence in one of Melbourne's premier city-fringe locations.

Replete with gracious period elegance and grandeur, the interior dimensions are currently configured as offices. Boasting soaring ceilings, the central arched hallway introduces two grand reception rooms and six generous additional rooms with powder-rooms, a bathroom and kitchenette. Upstairs, two principal rooms open to the full width balcony enjoying wonderful views of the Carlton Gardens, Royal Exhibition Building and Melbourne Museum. There are two additional rooms, powder-rooms, a filing room and a 2nd kitchenette. The deep private and leafy garden includes a double carport with extra parking for an additional 6 cars all accessible by rear access on Grosvenor Place. A once in a generation opportunity walking distance to the CBD, Lygon St restaurants, the Queen Victoria Market, trams and Parliament station.
