Set on a landscaped corner allotment amid towering native trees, this sublime inner-city retreat extends over 2 compelling levels where extensive glazing coaxes brilliant light throughout refined interior spaces lined with the warm embrace of natural Australian hardwood. Leafy courtyard entry leads to large and light, ground-floor living and dining areas (cast-iron heater, split-system heating/cooling) that open to a huge garden-set deck, while also flowing seamlessly to a bespoke designer kitchen with premium appliances including an induction cooktop. An exquisite bathroom with an oversized shower sits by a spacious north-facing bedroom (built-in robes) and European laundry, and situated atop of a bookshelf-wrapped staircase lies an entire first-floor parents' retreat featuring a huge bedroom, built-in robes, stunning ensuite, big treetop balcony plus an amazing timber-clad study. Separately located at the rear of the block is a peaceful studio with an additional bathroom that offers extraordinary versatility (STCA). With its striking modern profile, breathtaking aesthetics and low-maintenance setting, this outstanding inner-city home presents a rare lifestyle opportunity only metres to Quarries Park and Merri Creek/Main Yarra Trails, while just a short walk to village cafes, shops, schools and Clifton Hill train station.
