14 Groom Street

Clifton Hill VIC 3068

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.
