8 Bellevue Place
CARLTON

OBVIOUS

When your idea of dinner and a movie looks like Capitano and Cinema Nova, it’s obvious that this isn’t the standard inner-city deal.

Breaking against the cookie-cutter approach, this breathtaking three-bedroom, three-bathroom, three-levelled townhouse has been expertly designed by multi-award-winning Edition Office Architects. Sitting proud on Carlton’s premier Canning Street, entry to the home is through the private Bellevue Place laneway.

Polished sophistication was the brief for the interior design, with 6-metre-high ceilings and every opportunity for organic sunlight to fill up the rooms. Boasting its own elevator to travel between the three levels, the floorplan has the generous living room as the heart of the home with floor-to-ceiling windows. On the same level is a custom kitchen with Miele appliances, an integrated fridge, and granite benches — with a warm and well-lit dining area.

Three separate bedrooms include walk-in-robes, stunning ensuites, and views to the CBD from the master’s balcony. The mezzanine provides an impressive place to work-from-home, with views outside and a prominent timber bench for your office set-up. All photo-worthy balconies bring in a cosmopolitan feel, while the clever and extensive storage solutions remind you that it’s more than just a beautiful townhouse.

The difference in this home is found in the details; all cabinetry is uniform in blackbutt, the flooring is Silvertop Ash timber, there’s completely zoned air-conditioning, a video intercom for UberEats, and double-glazed windows for added thermal control. Avoid the inspectors and permits with a secure two-car space, plus the 96 tram is a four-minute walk away while the 11 tram is eight minutes from your doorstep.

SEALS THE DEAL

There isn’t a better side to the north. You’re walking distance from Carlton Gardens, Fitzroy’s Brunswick Street, the entertainment end of Lygon Street, and Melbourne’s buzziest café Florian. Date night extends to three nights a week here.
