Subscribe to regular market updates. Superbly enhanced and expanded to exceed expectations, first impressions of an attractive Edwardian give way to this 2-level residence’s stylish and spacious interior that delivers exceptional modern living without tedious maintenance in a quiet local-traffic street by cafes and parkland. Beyond secure leadlight entry with a steel-mesh door and a smart lock, a double-arched hallway with polished timber floorboards introduces an outstanding ground-floor setting where 2 excellent bedrooms sit comfortably and peacefully with plantation shutters and built-in robes. Centrally positioned for effortless convenience is a beautiful bathroom that is brilliantly designed, contemporary and efficient, features an oversized rain shower and an integrated European laundry. A split-level zone at the rear signals a shift in scale and energy, with a stunning gourmet kitchen (Bosch induction cooking, Miele dishwasher, soft-close cabinetry and a stone waterfall island with breakfast seating) flowing to a casual dining area (HeatnGlo gas fireplace) before a lower-level living room featuring built-in surround-sound speakers, expansive glazing and large bifold doors. An automatic retractable awning creates all-weather usability for an alfresco timber deck in a landscaped courtyard setting where entertaining is perfectly easy whether for long lunches surrounded by friends or intimate evening wind-downs. A first-floor extension adds another desirable dimension to the home’s remarkable appeal revealing a substantial 2-room retreat that delivers privacy and flexibility in equal measure. Here, a great-sized home office/lounge with views to the city extends to a well-appointed ensuite finished with full-height tiling and a large bedroom area including built-in robes. Coupled with split-system heating and cooling, strategic double-glazing, CCTV surveillance with mobile phone access, remote Velux skylights with rain sensors, new carpet, ample storage and rear lane ROW, this entirely impressive home is an ideally-balanced sanctuary of style, ease, space and functionality. The tranquil inner-city location presents a dream lifestyle scenario being within a short stroll of surrounding amenities from cafes, Clifton Hill village shops, Clifton Hill and Spensley St Primary School, the train station, to endless parkland and nature trails hugging the Merri Creek and the Yarra River.
