Smack bang in the urban wonderland that is Cremorne, this cleverly renovated cottage underneath the iconic Nylex clock, is an astonishing retreat from the hum of city life. A pop of yellow on its cosy historic strip, 9 Gough Place welcomes with open arms. Past the neat porch, an impossibly large, light-filled home beckons. High ceilings, polished floorboards and a wall of windows out to the lush, green courtyard garden bestow a sense of comfort and calm. The cheerful sky-lit kitchen and dining area lead onto a versatile living space, with room for a study nook, or even a third bedroom. With its two bedrooms, both fitted with built-in wardrobes, at opposite ends of the house, privacy and quiet are assured. Hydronic heating gently warms the entire home. The sweet, sun-drenched bathroom is right next door to a descreet European laundry. A second-floor extension is an option. With concerts and sport across the road at the MCG and entertainment precinct, fine food and live music just a stroll from the cobblestone rear laneway and all the convenience and excitement of Melbourne within easy reach, this is a beautiful city sanctuary that would be so nice to come home to.
