41 Dwyer Street, Clifton Hill, Vic 3068

This handsome block-fronted Victorian residence, extensively renovated in understated contemporary style, embodies all the attractions of Clifton Hill living. Close to Village cafes, the station, schools and Yarra parkland, here is a light-filled house surrounded by tranquil courtyard gardens on an elevated double block (305 sq.m. approx). Entry from the deep front verandah is to a wide hallway floored in recycled blackbutt. Opening from the hall are a large bedroom-presently configured as a study -- the main bedroom, with a stylish ensuite bathroom and two walls of built-in wardrobes, and the superbly proportioned living and dining room, complete with working open fire. All principal rooms feature graceful French doors from the original Members' Pavilion at Flemington Racecourse. The kitchen, filled with light from a tall atrium flowing to the back garden, is fitted with a fine array of cabinetry, Carrara marble benchtops and premium appliances. A hallway links the living room with a tiled powder room, a third double bedroom and a large bathroom/laundry with sunken bath and overbath shower. Designed with several secluded outdoor living zones enhanced by mature plantings and bluestone paving, this captivating home features excellent period detail, very generous storage space, ducted heating and refrigerated cooling.
