48 Dwyer Street, Clifton Hill, Vic 3068

On a prominent corner block, this block-fronted Edwardian residence offers unusually spacious rooms and abundant natural light. Entry from a neat garden is to a lace-trimmed verandah; the leadlight-framed front door opens to a very wide arched hallway with polished timber floors. This leads on one side to a handsome formal sitting room, with an open fireplace, plaster ceiling detail, and deep sash windows looking out to the garden. These period details are repeated in the main bedroom. The second and third bedrooms (one of which has recessed shelving, making it suitable for home office use) are also large - all three have the original fireplaces and overmantels. A new semi-ensuite bathroom, smartly tiled in black and white, adjoins the study/bedroom.

The rear section of the house has been successfully reconceived as an informal living and dining area, open on one side to a well-planned country style kitchen complete with timber and mesh cabinets, a 5-burner range, and a wall of mellow bricks. A cut out wall opens to a sunny breakfast room, featuring the original kitchen stove recess and cabinets, adjoining the second bathroom and laundry. Tall new doors lead from the dining room to a sunny paved L-shaped courtyard with an entrance to O'Grady Street.

With central heating, well-preserved period detail and attic storage, this warm and inviting property is just round the corner from Spensley Street Primary School and Yarra Parklands. Here is fine Clifton Hill Village living!
