190-192 Drummond Street, Carlton VIC 3053

The landmark central buildings of Denver Terrace occupy a central place in the history of the exclusive South Drummond Street precinct, 5 minutes from the CBD and the Carlton Gardens. Now to be sold together for the first time in many years, these grand 3-storey properties were built in 1866 for the eminent natural scientist and French Consul-General Francois Louis Caumont, Count de Castelnau, not as single residences but as rooming houses. At present divided into multiple self-contained studios, the houses (zoned Mixed Use) have brilliant potential for conversion. A Prospective (STCA) envisages the creation of 10 luxury apartments, including a new 3-storey section to the rear with possibility off-street parking and views of the Exhibition Building dome. This is undoubtedly one of Melbourne's most remarkable redevelopment opportunities.
