12 Clarendon Place
South Melbourne

A masterclass in creativity that reveals an exceptional understanding of space, light and function, this beautifully renovated and extended Victorian terrace is a rare gem waiting to be uncovered. Positioned in one of South Melbourne's most tightly-held historic cul-de-sacs on the edge of Clarendon Street's retail, transport and restaurant mecca, its lifestyle benefits and sanctuary-like spaces are destined to appeal.

Deceptive with an unassuming cottage facade, its open-plan interior flows from the front door to the leafy courtyard at its heart, offering seamless indoor-outdoor living that invites year-round pleasure through bi-fold doors. Light-filled living and dining areas are anchored by the home's original freestanding brick fireplace, in the centre of the home cleverly conceals a contemporary bathroom and galley-style kitchen, equipped with high-end European appliances.

Two large bedrooms with built-in robes include the top-floor main with a sky-lit ensuite, forming a tree-house-inspired aesthetic that showcases an undeniable serenity centred around the courtyard. Walking distance to Albert Park Lake, MSAC, shops, trams, and cafes, this immaculately presented home features hydronic heating, ducted reverse-cycle heating/cooling, custom storage throughout, solar power and louvre windows allowing cross-ventilation.
