Fitzroy VIC 3065

Designed by acclaimed Architects Pleysier Perkins and winner of the HIA’s “Designer Award” for residential design, this beautiful block-fronted Edwardian with a superb 3 bedroom layout is an absolute stand out streaming in natural light. Nestled at the peaceful park end of a plane tree-lined street, this perfectly updated and expanded residence with a wide profile combines attractive period character and a 2-level rear extension highlighted by a large main bedroom retreat featuring an ensuite, a study and a storeroom. Introduced by a picket fence-trimmed flowering garden and a broad dual-window façade, the home’s impressive proportions and timeless elegance immediately impress with a classic arched hallway adorned with fretwork extending to 2 ground-floor bedrooms where one is graced with a Victorian fireplace and the other offers built-in robes. A polished concrete floor signals a contemporary transition launched by a streamlined central bathroom (frameless-glass shower) and a concealed laundry area before revealing a sun-soaked, open-planned zone at the rear. Here, anchored by a galley-style kitchen appointed with Miele appliances and a stainless-steel benchtop, a stylish and spacious dining and living space enhanced by a soaring 2-storey void and tall sliding doors spills onto a versatile courtyard oasis landscaped and paved for secluded alfresco entertaining along with easy remote-control roller door off-street parking. The upstairs retreat with its sizable bedroom and smart ensuite includes a home office area fitted with a desk that captures an outlook toward the city skyline, while excellent attributes that underpin the home’s exceptional capacity for current-day comfort include ducted heating, split-system air-conditioner, alarm system, double-glazing and ample integrated storage. Experience an exciting inner-city lifestyle surrounded by greenery with this impeccably presented residence where all of the action is just nearby including Smith and Brunswick Streets renowned culinary and cultural precincts, neighbourhood cafes and pubs, shopping, trams, schools, Edinburgh Gardens, the Fitzroy Pool and the freeway.
