Tucked away on a quiet residential street at the parkland edge of Clifton Hill, this single-fronted weatherboard home has been extended across two levels, holding its period character at the front while opening into something lighter and more contemporary behind. Everyday life is made easy - stations, trams and local shops all within walking distance, parkland and riverside trails just around the corner.
A gated side path extends past the covered porch and entry, where the front living room sits behind a tall window, finished with moulded cornicing, a ceiling rose and a white mantel framing a gas fire. Further along, a bedroom, currently set up as a home office, is served by a built-in robe, with a powder room and concealed laundry positioned nearby. The kitchen is finished in gloss white cabinetry with a white subway tile splashback, a gas cooktop beneath a stainless steel range hood, an underbench oven, dishwasher and generous overhead storage.
A long island with a waterfall edge carries the sink and black tapware while doubling as a breakfast bar, lit by a row of black pendants. Dining and family zones run behind, the timber staircase rising alongside with a wire balustrade that keeps sightlines clear and light moving through. Sliding doors draw the courtyard in, and split system heating and cooling services this zone along with the level above.
Upstairs, two carpeted bedrooms sit either side of a central bathroom, each with built-in robes and a linen press close by. The bathroom is tiled to full height, with a walk-in shower behind frameless glass, a wall-hung vanity and a broad frameless mirror.
Outside, the courtyard is paved in tiles and part-sheltered beneath the eave, with trees set into raised brick beds along one side and festoon lighting strung overhead. A strip of lawn softens the edge, while a garden shed at the rear takes care of storage.
Clifton Hill Primary School and Collingwood College are both zoned for the property, with Spensley Street Primary School close by. Clifton Hill Station is an easy walk for city-bound commuters, with trams and the cafes, grocers and everyday shops of Queens Parade equally close. Quarries Park and Ramsden Street Reserve sit a short walk away, and Yarra Bend Park
and the trails along the Yarra open up just beyond.
