Fitzroy North VIC 3068

Metres from exciting Brunswick Street and set well back for complete privacy behind a high fence and secure courtyard garden, with potential for off street parking, this exceptional 3 bedroom and study residence with its innovative single-storey design stands quietly on a deep north-facing rear block soaking up sunshine just a short walk to the Edinburgh Gardens. A timeless Victorian profile and a wide arched hallway introduce a traditional terrace layout of 3 large bedrooms including built-in robes and plantation shutters (2 with open fireplaces), before shifting with raw vintage appeal into a remarkable living room framed by a patinated ceiling, exposed brickwork and polished timber floorboards. Further is a versatile light-filled space of around 15 sqm to configure as desired plus a flexible separate study or sitting room, that precede a twist in the tail of a surprisingly spacious interior with a split-level, open-planned zone on a solid concrete floor. First is a great-size kitchen which is fully equipped with stainless-steel appliances that leads to a brilliant dining area with an expanse of north-facing glazing, offering a wonderful outlook and seamless connection to the sunlit rear garden. An additional highlight is the minimalist contemporary aesthetics of a stylish bathroom (separate bathtub and shower), along with split-system heating and cooling units, while just outside is a secluded alfresco terrace flowing north to a sunny garden area framed by lush tropical-inspired plantings and rear ROW for potential off-street parking. A one of a kind in a convenient city-edge locale, this unique indoor-outdoor sanctuary combines outstanding present-day comfort and irresistible scope for future perfection. Located close to Fitzroy and Rathdowne Village cafes, restaurants and shopping, trams, parkland, the Fitzroy Pool and schools.
