Fitzroy North VIC 3068

Multiple living areas, elegant character and modern appointments bring flexibility and functionality perfect for today and years ahead to this attractive 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom residence. Classically Fitzroy North, a beautiful heritage façade and courtyard garden on a plane treelined street introduce this renovated Edwardian’s extensive single-level interior connecting seamlessly out to a leafy rear entertainment courtyard. An arched hallway with a high period ceiling immediately leads to a light-filled parents’ retreat made up of a north-facing bedroom, a walk-in robe and a stylish ensuite including a frameless-glass shower, a heated towel rail and light court access. Next along is a cleverly designed study alcove with a desk and storage for working from home, before a bright central lounge room that’s positioned for parents, kids or all the family to relax and unwind warmed by gas space heating. Additional accommodation of 2 great-sized bedrooms including mirrored built-in robes (split-system air-conditioning) are superbly complemented by a central bathroom with a large bath and heated towel rail, along with a handy sky-lit European laundry. An open concept living and dining room at the rear is a great place to gather with its Bosch-equipped gourmet kitchen (stone-topped waterfall island and walk-in pantry), reverse-cycle heating/cooling, polished hardwood floorboards and expansive glazing including wide French doors. Just outside is a picture of privacy, greenery and serenity with a lush courtyard garden offering wonderful alfresco space to enjoy the company of family and friends in a low-maintenance setting. Confidently look long-term with this exceptional inner-city home that’s perfect for a growing family, or even downsizers, first-time buyers and investors, in a prized lifestyle pocket zoned to Merri Creek Primary and Northcote High schools. Stroll to local cafes, restaurants, wine bars and shops, North Fitzroy Village, Capital City and Merri Creek nature trails, parkland, trams (96, 11), train station and the Deutsche Schule.
