Fitzroy VIC 3065

A stunning conversion from bluestone church to breathtaking domain is revealed in all its glory beyond the landmark faade and antique Gothic doors of this magnificent Fitzroy residence. One of the most amazing openings ever to grace the Gertrude Street precinct, this sublime residence from award-winning James Stockwell Architecture is spectacularly staged over 2 compelling levels merging sophistication, luxury and authentic heritage character. A former Presbyterian Church from 1871 retaining its beautiful Ferguson & Urie stained-glass windows, the expansive interior is immediately engaging from narthex entrance to a Victorian Ash-lined living and dining zone highlighted by an evocative, high-walled atrium garden behind wide, glazed stacker doors. Over 150 years of history is exposed through patches of bluestone peering back at an absolutely divine gourmet kitchen dressed in solid Cairns marble that boasts top-line Miele appliances (induction, combi-steam, dishwasher) and a pantry. Rising over the windows to the floating buttress ceiling is a sensational 2nd-floor featuring a striking main bedroom with walk-in robe and indulging ensuite overlooking the sky-lit church walls, spacious 2nd bedroom with built-in robes and ceiling fan, brilliant main bathroom and laundry. Also offers a ground-floor powder room, study, hydronic heating, excellent custom storage, mood lighting plus secure, on-title off-street parking. Nestled serenely within its grand bluestone walls, is a rare city-edge sanctuary, located amidst the vibrant atmosphere of Fitzroy, only a moments walk to fine restaurants, cafs, wine bars, shopping, trams, and Melbournes CBD.
