Known as 'Frosterley', 2 Drummond Street is steeped in history. The property was built circa 1900 for Dr William Snowball known as the 'father of paediatrics in Melbourne' in the late 1800s.

Speaking to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND Belle Property Carlton principal Scott McElroy said he had sold the property to the current owners some 20-odd years ago.

“This is a very unique property in the landscape of Carlton real estate due to its location, the size of the apartment and the history around it. The current owners bought the property on one level in the original warehouse building and then added the extra floor to the property. It was purchased in 1908 by the Bureau of Meteorology which used to release weather balloons off the roof,” Scott told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“It is as rare as hens’ teeth to find an apartment with the sheer size of this one. At over 350 sqm internally, it is far bigger than the vast majority of terrace houses within the area. It is flooded with natural light due to the north-west facing aspect and the almost 12-foot ceilings in the original warehouse and massive steel frame windows. It is the true definition of a classic warehouse/loft apartment,” Scott explained. 

“The property also offers an amazing opportunity for a multi-generational buyer given it is currently configured with two kitchens and separate living quarters. It’s ideal for a family looking for an amazing inner Melbourne lifestyle so close to the Melbourne.”
