Fitzroy VIC 3065

More Fitzroy than imaginable with more options for a rewarding lifestyle, this creatively extended residence features a north-facing rear garden plus a self-contained studio. A vast and versatile home behind a classic faade, this unique Victorian unfolds in the most wonderful way where an ensemble of spaces that stretch on forever reveal flexibility beyond belief. Starting at the rear that's drenched in northern light, a separate 2-room studio with bathroom and kitchenette offers direct laneway access and the potential for garaging on top of its propensity for prosperity as rental income, large office, creative space or bedroom retreat. A light and airy open-plan living and dining zone under a soaring trussed ceiling with a fan spills onto the sunny courtyard garden and also rises to a mezzanine area ideal as a lounge room or internal study/office. A solid timber kitchen is fully equipped to whip up a storm, while off the exposed bluestone entrance hallway is a spacious modern bathroom and 2 sizable bedrooms, the first with open fireplace and second with built-in robes plus direct access to a light court fernery. Also includes gas wall heating, alarm system, attic storage and polished floorboards. This Fitzroy rarity is absolutely remarkable and, located between Brunswick and Smith Streets, offers untold convenience to an array of cafs, restaurants, bars, galleries, trams, schools, parkland and the pool.
