Drummond Place Retirement Community

The barbecue sizzles, the wine and conversation flow freely, and again your anticipation rises. The rooftop terrace is just the place to entertain all the possibilities on the horizon. Just over one kilometre from Melbourne’s CBD, Drummond Place sets you up perfectly to enjoy living at its best. The enviable location gives you direct access to everything that makes Carlton so desirable and the city of Melbourne one of the world’s most liveable.

The city of festivals, comedy, fine food, wine, and the arts is all yours to be explored and savoured. A short tram ride connects you with Melbourne’s famous laneway culture, the arts precinct, world-class boutiques and iconic department stores. Melbourne’s major sporting venues and theatres, the Royal Exhibition Building, Melbourne Museum, Melbourne Zoo, and the State Library are literally minutes away. The rich colourful character of your local neighbourhood is also home to charming cafés and specialist shops, all housed beneath Carlton’s signature iron verandas. Welcome to where tradition is embraced with passion

The vibrancy and genuine warmth of the Drummond Place community in Carlton runs deep. From the upbeat light-filled gym to the open nature of the beautifully designed spaces by renowned architect Fender Katsalidis, there’s a real shared pride in belonging here. Perfectly balancing a sense of community with personal privacy, Drummond Place offers a quality lifestyle, an array of premium services and unobtrusive security. From the moment you’re greeted by the concierge in the lobby you get a feeling that this is more like a boutique hotel. The select range of services and outstanding facilities further attest to this.

Located within its own architecturally-designed precinct, here you have every opportunity to enjoy fitness, hobbies and companionship in a secure low maintenance living environment. With quiet places for reading or study, the ground floor features a reception with a concierge, private library, lounge, arts and crafts room, and a dining area with fireplace. Relaxing on those colder Carlton afternoons just couldn’t be better. On the corner of the precinct you’ll find arguably one of the finest cafés in Melbourne. On the same level you’ll find a surprisingly large gym, games area and private cinema. There’s also The Garden Room with an on-site kitchenette for private dining and a rooftop terrace for outdoor entertaining. From every point of view this is leisurely living at its very best. And, in most cases, should you have a small good-natured pet* they are very welcome to share it with you.

As you’d expect from internationally acclaimed architects Fender Katsalidis, the future-focussed room and bedroom designs create a choice of flexible living arrangements. All bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and generous ensuites. The large private balcony has space for an outdoor setting and barbecue. Refined finishes and fittings are in abundance. These include stone bathroom and kitchen benchtops. Your modern, elegant kitchen features the very latest Miele cooking appliances and a drawer-style dishwasher. You also enjoy secure, direct lift access to personally reserved underground parking. For extra peace of mind there is a 24-hour emergency call service.
