224 Clauscen Street, Fitzroy North, Vic 3068

This free-standing late Victorian villa has been thoughtfully renovated and extended for family living, in a prime location just round the corner from Merri Creek, transport and St Georges Road cafes. A hallway runs from the north-facing verandah to two spacious bedrooms, one with a timber-mantelled open fireplace. A third sunny bedroom opens from the spacious living room, which has French doors to the garden at the side.

The central section of the house comprises a large tiled bathroom (separate bath and shower), WC and full-size laundry. A storage wall leads through to the informal entertaining area: here, a dining room with northerly clerestory windows flows to an impressive gabled-ceilinged living space, opening on one side to a study/ fourth bedroom, and on the other to a well equipped kitchen (pantry and stainless steel appliances), with doors to a pergola-covered deck. Secure car parking is offered from a rear ROW to a deep garden with a workshop/utility room. Including well-preserved period detail, hydronic heating and polished timber floors, this appealing property offers stylish and comfortable city-fringe living.
