65 Clarke Street, Northcote, Vic 3070

The quiet end of Clarke Street is the highly sought-after setting for this beautifully-renovated 3 bedroom terrace with a north-facing rear garden and remote-control garage. Tucked away near Merri Creek parkland in a peaceful Northcote High School zoned pocket, this Hawthorn brick Victorian behind a classic façade merges period character and contemporary finesse throughout a bright and flexible single-level interior. An arched hallway with a high ceiling and polished floorboards provides an inviting entrance to a well-proportioned layout and leads to 2 spacious bedrooms before a versatile third bedroom or study, a powder room and a stylish central bathroom. A west-side light court generates gentle illumination throughout a series of spaces that extend further to a large open-plan zone under a tall trussed ceiling launched by a contemporary gourmet kitchen boasting Miele appliances, a stone-topped breakfast island and soft-close cabinetry. Adjoining are generous dining and living areas that culminate in wide bifold doors connecting seamlessly to a beautifully bright and landscaped rear garden including a sun-drenched entertainment terrace fringed in greenery. Additional attributes of this impeccably presented home include a European laundry, attic ladder storage, ducted heating, split-system heating and cooling units plus a secure garage with room for a workshop/storage and roller door access via Richardson Lane. This premium inner-city pocket is perfect for an exciting and convenient lifestyle within walking distance to Merri Creek nature trails, Westgarth and Ruckers Hill cafes and restaurants, North Fitzroy Village, shopping centres, trams and Merri train station along with Northcote High and Merri Creek Primary schools.
