263 George Street

Fitzroy VIC 3065

A large garden oasis, secure off-street parking and a superbly-proportioned, light-filled interior make this captivating 2 bedroom Victorian a remarkable discovery in the historic heart of Fitzroy. A solid red brick corner sanctuary with an attractive heritage façade, once inside this elegant home exudes a fabulous cottage feel where wonderful vistas over the adjoining garden enhance an inviting sense of space. Few can compare to this delightful freestanding residence that’s quietly located on the corner of St David Street. Some have a small courtyard, others just a deck, yet this extraordinary home stands apart from the rest with its spacious high-walled garden set to the side offering endless old-world enchantment. A generous floorplan starts with a central arched hallway showcasing restored period character with its high ceiling and Baltic pine floorboards leading to 2 big north-facing bedrooms while central is a huge bathroom featuring a corner spa bath, oversized shower, granite-topped vanity and a European-style laundry with storage to the ceiling. A relaxing living room with expansive windows framing the garden is a peaceful retreat that precedes an updated and fully-appointed kitchen and meals area with both providing access directly out to the secluded and sunny alfresco setting offering swathes of greenery, an entertainment patio, garden shed and a roller door from George Street to a secure carport. Also includes hydronic heating, open fireplaces, LED lighting and plantation shutters. Elegance meets single-level ease and exceptional garden surroundings with this rare city-edge retreat offering potential to further improve if desired near all of Fitzroy’s famed amenities from Brunswick and Smith Streets’ cafes, restaurants, shops and trams, to art galleries, local parks and schools.
