Clifton Hill VIC 3068

Light filled heritage splendour meets sublime modern design in the heart of Clifton Hill Village. This captivating residence amidst lush gardens is a substantial family sanctuary that is very rare in this location. A classical double-fronted faade sets the tone for the period elegance and stunning enhancement of this beautiful big-hearted Victorian that gently unfolds to a sunny and secluded, north-facing rear landscaped garden. This architecturally designed 5-bedroom home is linked by clever design elements, including an internal courtyard, split over 2 levels for a flexible family lifestyle on a large allotment with excellent rear access and secure off-street parking. The wide and inviting arched hallway leads you into the original renovated Victorian home to 2 large bedrooms, including the main with exquisite ceiling detailing, walk in robe, and statement terrazzo floor tiled ensuite with curved tiled wall, a second bathroom and a 3rd versatile sitting room or additional bedroom with custom steel mantel fireplace. The light natural Oak floorboards link the period home to the modern via a fitted study, bright leafy internal courtyard and large laundry with mudroom expertly concealed behind a large pivot door. An enclosed stairway makes way to the children's wing on second level with a huge lounge room, 2 further bedrooms (BIRs), bathroom, and a light-filled attic studio. Under a ceiling soaring sunward is a huge open -plan family/dining area that extends to a luxury kitchen boasting 3.5m long custom designed Carrara marble island bench, top-line AEG appliances, integrated fridge/freezer and a handy butler's pantry area. Sliding doors bring the outdoors in and reveal an island of lawn among a sea of soft greenery with an in-situ concrete BBQ and seating area backdropped by vertical timber cladding, storeroom and remote-control roller door. This home offers all the details you would expect including hydronic heating, split-system air-conditioning, ceiling fans, double-glazing and plantation shutters. This sensational city-edge family oasis is perfectly positioned close to cafes, shops, a selection of schools, Darling Gardens, Yarra River parklands, Merri Creek trails, trams and the train station.
