24 Wright Street, Clifton Hill, Vic 3068

A double-width block opposite parkland creates a huge indoor-outdoor setting for this superbly renovated and extended Victorian that’s much more like a double-fronted sanctuary. Classic 1880s origins and expanded contemporary spaces combine perfectly in this extra-wide 3 bedroom and study residence peacefully surrounded by lush established gardens overlooking expansive Quarries Park. Bigger and better with every step, the well-insulated interior unfolds with an arched hallway featuring artistic stained-glass windows leading to 2 sizable bedrooms with high period ceilings and built-in robes where the main includes a large and luxurious ensuite boasting dual Villeroy & Boch vanities wrapped in Blue Louise Brazilian granite, a bidet, indulging spa bath and a spacious frameless-glass shower. An upstairs retreat filled with light offers another desirable dimension featuring a generous robed bedroom and a versatile home office or lounge room with a fitted desk. Central is a superb bathroom with an oversized shower and a full granite-finished laundry plus there’s ample storage throughout. A brilliantly designed gourmet kitchen is ideal for a family and entertaining with its Bosch and Miele appliances, sparkling granite benchtops and soft-touch designer storage while adjoining is a soaring-ceiling family living and dining zone with bifold doors to the north-facing rear garden with its fruit trees, vegie/herb patches, storage shed and workshop. Enjoying leafy vistas from every room, further attributes include ducted heating, split-system air-conditioners, double-glazing, polished timber floorboards, solar electricity (6.5kW with a 16kWh Tesla battery), rainwater tanks and possible rear off-street parking. Substantial, sustainable and serene, this idyllic family home is enviably situated at the gateway to extensive parkland and river trails only moments to cafes, Clifton Hill train station (10-minutes to the city!), a selection of schools and shopping precincts.
