A renovated Carlton North Victorian fetched its owner $1.7 million at auction, selling for its reserve price after receiving just one bid on Saturday.

The two-bedroom house at 679 Drummond Street had an atrium at the rear, an upstairs entertaining area with a wet bar and city views, and a modern style.

The home was close to the popular Rathdowne Village dining and lifestyle precinct.

“It was a beautifully presented home with an upstairs area that was likened to a backyard, but was very private with exceptional views towards the CBD and surrounding area,” Jellis Craig selling agent and auctioneer Trevor Gange said. “The integration of the outside area and upstairs internal area was perfect for entertaining. I think that was a big hero for the property.”
