23 Owen Street, Carlton

Set in a blue-ribbon position on prized Murchison Square, metres from Carlton Gardens, this inspiring residence is a compelling proposition in one of inner Melbourne’s most tightly-held locations.

Remaking a classic Victorian cottage in the style of a New York city loft, the dynamic, daring design evokes the feel of a spacious warehouse, set against exposed brick walls and under soaring cathedral ceilings.

The flexible living space is full of natural light and inspired wooden fittings, including a built-in fold-out bed and galley kitchen. The bathroom features a laundry space, open shower and an inventive hidden bath, while the expansive living space opens to a private courtyard, highlighted by gorgeous white birch trees, with laneway access.

The vibrant lifestyle location is an easy stroll away from a host of impressive cultural highlights, including cafés and restaurants on Lygon, Brunswick, and Gertrude Streets, 96 tram, the CBD, Carlton Gardens, Melbourne Museum, Carlton Baths, Melbourne Uni and so much more.

Eminently comfortable now, with exciting potential to realise your dream home visions, in one of the city’s best locations.
