20 Grant Street, clifton hill

Nestled in one of Clifton Hill’s most tightly held pockets, this charming 1930s Art Deco residence captures all the hallmarks of its era — elegant proportions, ornate ceilings, warm timber detail and a sense of enduring craftsmanship. Perfectly positioned between the tranquil village precinct and the Yarra parklands, it offers immediate comfort with enormous potential to renovate or extend in line with the area’s many inspired transformations. A welcoming L-shaped hallway introduces an impressively large front bedroom with tranquil leafy outlook, complemented by a second bedroom and central bathroom. The home then opens to a full-width lounge with decorative fireplace — an inviting space for relaxation or entertaining — adjoining a bright, functional kitchen and dining area. At the rear, a large laundry, boot room and separate WC provide scope for easy modernisation, while the layout’s natural flow lends itself beautifully to a future rear extension (STCA). Occupying a prime 250 m² allotment with coveted street-to-street frontage (Lily Street at the rear) and direct car access to a single garage, the property balances period character with convenience. Distinctive Japanese-black stained hardwood floors and timber-framed detailing highlight the neutral interiors, while high decorative ceilings enhance its warmth and appeal. From this peaceful tree-lined address, enjoy a leisurely stroll to Clifton Hill Station for express CBD access, the Yarra and Merri Creek trails, Quarries Park, and the cosmopolitan village cafés. Combining classic Art Deco allure with genuine future promise, 20 Grant Street presents an increasingly rare opportunity to secure an immediately livable home in one of inner-Melbourne’s most desirable and community-minded neighbourhoods.
