53 Smith Street

Fitzroy VIC 3065

SITUATED AT THE QUIET SOUTHERN END OF SMITH STREET, THE PROPERTY IS SURROUNDED BY
TOP-LEVEL ART GALLERIES, AWARD-WINNING CAFÉS, RESTAURANTS, BOOKSHOPS, OP SHOPS AND
ALL THE BUSINESSES NEARBY WHICH OFFER ALL OF LIFE'S NECESSITIES.
THE 1920'S SHOP AND DWELLING IS COMPRISED OF A SHOP OFFERING WIDE PROPORTIONS
SUITABLE FOR A NUMBER OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES WITH HARDWOOD FLOOR AND HIGH
ORIGINAL PRESSED-METAL CEILING, (LOOK CAREFULLY AND YOU'LL SEE THAT IT'S A STYLISED
PATTERN OF ACACIA PYCNANTHA, THE FLORAL EMBLEM OF AUSTRALIA). BEHIND THE SHOP
LIES A SOLID, WELL-PROPORTIONED AND PEACEFUL DOUBLE-STOREYED HOUSE WITH ORIGINAL
BALTIC PINE FLOORS.
DOWNSTAIRS PAST THE STAIR HALL THERE ARE TWO LIVING ROOMS AND A LARGE KITCHEN
OPENING ONTO THE REAR GARDEN, AND A LAUNDRY AND WC. THERE'S A GAS OPEN FIRE
IN THE SITTING ROOM, AND GAS APPLIANCES AND HOT WATER. UPSTAIRS ARE THREE BEDROOMS,
TWO WITH OPEN FIREPLACES, A BATHROOM, AND AN EXQUISITE ENCLOSED BALCONY OFFERING
DISTANT VIEWS TO THE EAST AND IMMEDIATE VIEWS DOWN TO BUSTLING SMITH STREET -
A PERFECT PLACE FOR A LATE LAZY SUNDAY BREAKFAST.
OUTSIDE THERE'S A SMALL GARDEN (WHICH GROWS GREAT TOMATOES), A SUN-DRENCHED
ROOF GARDEN WITH A CLOTHES LINE, AND A DOUBLE LOCK-UP GARAGE OPENING ONTO LITTLE
SMITH STREET.
STEP INSIDE THE HOUSE AND YOU'RE IN A PEACEFUL, PRIVATE PLACE. STEP OUT THE FRONT
DOOR AND THERE'S ALL THAT'S BEST ABOUT MELBOURNE. RIGHT THERE. EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE
A MYRIAD OF TRANSPORT OPTIONS AT YOUR FINGER TIPS, MOST WOULD PROBABLY PREFER WALKING
EVERYWHERE CONSIDERING THIS CENTRAL LOCATION. IT WILL TAKE YOU TWENTY-FIVE MINUTES
TO WALK TO SOUTHBANK, OR YOU CAN TAKE THE TRAM ON EITHER OF THE TWO LINES NEARBY.
THEN THERE'S GERTRUDE STREET, AND BRUNSWICK STREET, LITTLE LOCAL PUBS ON CORNERS...
