130 Gold Street, Clifton Hill, Vic 3068

This appealing Victorian residence, renovated and extended to the side and rear, has an attraction unusual for city-fringe property - a wide and deep (11m x 37m) garden allotment. The house has attractive landscaped gardens to the front, northern and eastern sides, and renovation has taken advantage of the setting to introduce maximum light.

At the end of a small terrace row, the house is built of apricot brick, with railings, a 'bell' verandah, and iron lace work. Entry is to a bright arched hallway, opening to a rectangular living room with open fireplace, timber floors, and several windows overlooking the cottage-style gardens. (This large space could be divided to create a third bedroom.) The separate dining room, painted in warm terracotta, is located close to the kitchen, which is fitted in sage laminate with pale timber benches. A cut out wall looks over the sunny modern informal living room with a full wall of windows and double doors to a ramp sloping down to the garden.

The main bedroom, with ensuite bathroom and built-in wardrobes, is at the rear of the house, where there is a laundry and powder room with a shower. Stairs lead up to two rooms with gabled ceilings - one is a large study area, the other a second bedroom which looks down over the back garden. With lawn, deciduous trees, camellia plantings and a storage shed, this pretty space wraps around by a brick path to the garden at the side. There is secure remote parking from a wide laneway.

This inviting property with potential to add value has period features, gas central heating, cooling, and quality fittings. Note the location - close to Darling Gardens, Queen's Parade shopping, and schools.
