1 Drummond Street Carlton

Flanked by Melbourne’s iconic and irresistible Italian precinct of Lygon Street, with its excess and diversity of restaurants, and the sophisticated and wide tree lined boulevard of Rathdowne Street, sits the equally attractive broad and leafy Drummond Street, also a boulevard in its own right, with what is probably, one of Melbourne’s finest examples, of elegant 19th century, double storey Victorian architecture.

A dazzling display of fine wrought iron lace work swathes the terraced balconies, porches and front garden fences in a flourish of colour and allure. Number 1 Drummond Street is one such property, set on splendid bluestone foundations, coloured with the rich heritage tonings of burgundy and Brunswick green, and with immediate views of the city skyline and access to everything a large city has to offer.

This property has high quality internal finishes including: a fully equipped kitchen with granite bench tops, chic bathrooms with porcelain finishes a courtyard entertaining area with BBQ and laundry facilities. Other luxuries include large plasma televisions and sound system in the lounge. All common areas are serviced regularly. Individual rooms cleaned on a user pays basis.

Number 1 Drummond Street accommodates up to twelve people on a single room or double room basis. Opportunities exist for those who wish to rent several rooms of a house. Communal kitchen, dining and lounge areas assist new arrivals, to Melbourne, to form friendships and networks.
