In a setting of extraordinary rarity, directly opposite the sweeping parklands of Merri Creek, this distinguished family residence occupies an exceptional 429sqm allotment in one of Clifton Hill's most coveted positions.
Few homes in the inner north can claim such a remarkable convergence of land, orientation and lifestyle. A prized north-facing rear, substantial family proportions, secure garaging and immediate park frontage combine to create an offering of genuine distinction – and one almost impossible to replicate in Clifton Hill.
Here, the park and playground become an extension of the home. The Merri Creek Trail lies virtually at the doorstep, winding towards the Yarra River through one of Melbourne's most celebrated natural corridors. Morning runs, weekend rides and afternoons in the park begin the moment you step outside, all within minutes of the CBD.
Framed by beautifully renewed landscaping, the home's elegant period character is expressed through soaring ceilings, original fireplaces, intricate leadlight windows and polished timber floors. Behind its timeless façade, generously proportioned interiors have been thoughtfully evolved for sophisticated contemporary family living.
Four substantial bedrooms, each appointed with built-in robes, provide exceptional accommodation, with the principal suite complemented by a private ensuite. Refined living spaces offer flexibility and scale, while the recently renovated kitchen forms a striking centrepiece. Luxurious marble benchtops and matching splashbacks are paired with a Bosch oven and Smeg gas cooktop, creating a beautifully resolved space for both everyday living and entertaining.
The home's coveted northern rear orientation is fully embraced by the expansive open-plan living and dining domain, drawing an abundance of natural light deep into the interiors throughout the day. Broad garden outlooks create an effortless connection to the newly landscaped surrounds, while a substantial undercover alfresco setting extends the living environment outdoors for year-round entertaining.
New landscaping to both the front and rear enhances the home's sense of privacy and sanctuary, complemented by considered contemporary details including feature timber screening along the carport boundary.
Adding yet another layer of rarity is secure off-street garaging, accessed via the rear right-of-way – an exceptionally scarce and highly prized asset in Clifton Hill. Premium appointments continue with hydronic heating, evaporative cooling, a comprehensive Ring smart security system, a Lockly smart rear door lock with integrated video entry, excellent storage, a guest powder room and a separate laundry.
Yet it is the combination of these attributes that truly places the property in a class of its own. A substantial 429sqm allotment. A sun-drenched north-facing rear. Secure garaging. Direct park frontage. An irreplaceable Merri Creek lifestyle.
Moments from Clifton Hill Station, village cafés and shops, and zoned to highly regarded Spensley Street Primary School, this is a residence of genuine distinction in one of Clifton Hill's most tightly held and irreplaceable settings.
