Behind its established garden, this double-fronted Victorian villa combines polychrome brickwork, verandah ironwork and decorative ceiling roses with a characterful, carefully maintained interior. Set on a parkside street in Clifton Hill, it is close to Queens Parade, Clifton Hill station and the area's established amenities. Dark brickwork banded in cream sits beneath a terracotta tiled roof, with a cast-iron verandah, slender posts and a timber front door framed by a fanlight and sidelights. Established trees and ornamental plantings lead to the entrance. Inside, a central hallway connects four bedrooms, each retaining decorative cornices, ceiling roses and sash windows. The central bathroom features mosaic wall banding, dark floor tiles, a built-in bath, glass-screened shower and white vanity. Two living zones provide flexibility: a spacious lounge / 5th bedroom with a modern fireplace and built-in robes and an open-plan family and dining room warmed by a freestanding wood heater beneath soaring ceilings. The kitchen retains solid timber cabinetry, garden-facing windows, island seating, wall oven, gas cooktop, dishwasher and pantry. The adjoining meals area opens to a paved courtyard through timber-framed glass doors. An external granny flat with its own bathroom provides versatile accommodation as a bedroom, study or additional living space. Outside, a covered pergola shelters the paved courtyard, while established greenery and high fencing provide privacy. A driveway offers off-street parking. Lifestyle amenities are close at hand, including Collingwood Leisure Centre, Mayors Park, Darling Gardens and Clifton Hill Tennis Club. Yarra Bend Park and Merri Creek trails are nearby, while Queens Parade offers shops and cafés. Clifton Hill station provides easy city access, and the home is zoned for Clifton Hill Primary School and Fitzroy High School.
