Holding its history with quiet confidence, this two-bedroom period residence welcomes with the iron lacework, porch tiling, soaring ceilings, ornate cornices, ceiling roses and fireplaces that make these homes so very special. Set in a leafy pocket of Clifton Hill, moments from parkland and village shopping and close to the city, this address perfectly balances comfort, privacy and connectivity. An arched, carpeted hallway runs the length of the home, with two large bedrooms at the front, each with its own fireplace. The living areas at the rear include a lounge with a fireplace beside an arched niche, with northeast-facing windows carrying light from the lounge through the tiled dining area and into the kitchen. Beyond sits a combined bathroom and laundry, with an enclosed, private brick-paved courtyard offering laneway access. Life on the city fringe is right at the door, with the Queens Parade village strip for cafés and everyday shopping, Darling Gardens and Edinburgh Gardens close by, and trams and Clifton Hill Station for an easy commute. The home is also zoned for Clifton Hill Primary School and Fitzroy High School.
