56 Paterson Street

Set behind a 6.6m frontage, this semi-detached Victorian delivers a great sense of space, light and flexibility in the heart of Princes Hill. Behind the classic façade, the home opens up to reveal a surprisingly generous floorplan across two levels, with four genuinely large bedrooms (all with robes) and two full bathrooms one on each level. At the rear, the home really comes into its own. A north-facing orientation brings beautiful natural light into the open-plan living and dining zone, complemented by a well-appointed kitchen with solid timber cabinetry, dishwasher and excellent storage. Period character remains a strong theme throughout, with a wide entrance hallway, high ornate ceilings and solid timber floors, while modern comforts include a wood heater, full laundry and a large attic storeroom. Double sliding doors connect seamlessly to a substantial north-facing backyard, offering a private and sun-drenched space to relax or entertain. Added to this is the advantage of a lock-up garage/workshop via Munnering Lane, along with an upstairs balcony enjoying the same northerly aspect. Positioned in one of the inner north's most tightly held pockets, it's a short walk to Princes Park, Lygon Street trams and local cafés, along with easy access to schools, the Inner Circle Rail Trail and Sydney Road's retail strip.
