117 Clarke Street, Northcote, Vic 3070

A captivating union of Victorian elegance and contemporary architectural design, this beautifully renovated home preserves its ornate period character while unfolding into a lofty, light-filled rear extension created for modern living.

Beyond the lacework façade, a traditional arched hallway introduces polished floorboards, high ceilings and intricate cornices. At the front, an exceptionally flexible room can serve as a formal lounge, dedicated study or third bedroom, complemented by a fireplace and ceiling fan.

Two further bedrooms provide peaceful accommodation, including one with built-in robes and an impressive main bedroom appointed with double built-in robes, a ceiling fan and a luxurious private ensuite. Dual vessel basins, timber detailing, sleek cabinetry, a walk-in shower and full-height tiling give the ensuite a sophisticated finish. The equally stylish central bathroom includes a bathtub, modern vanity and glossy floor-to-ceiling tiles.

A subtle change in level marks the transition into the spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and living domain. Soaring cathedral ceilings, clerestory glazing and broad industrial-style doors draw northern light deep into the interior, creating a remarkable sense of volume and connection to the outdoors. A ceiling fan, split-system heating/cooling maintain comfort throughout the seasons.

At the centre, the sleek Caesarstone kitchen combines soft-close cabinetry, Bosch appliances, gas cooking and an expansive island breakfast bar, offering a refined and highly functional setting for everyday meals and entertaining.

Industrial-style doors extend the living area into a private north-facing courtyard garden, where paved and decked zones, established greenery and integrated seating create an intimate outdoor retreat. Rear access leads to a covered rear yard.

Moments from Westgarth Village, Northcote Plaza and High Street’s cafés, dining and trams, the home is also close to Merri Station, Merri Creek Reserve and surrounding parkland. Zoning for Merri Creek Primary School and Northcote High School further strengthens the appeal of this exceptional inner-north address.
