Fitzroy North VIC 3068

A pivotal position putting the best of Melbourne’s inner-north within easy reach is perfectly balanced by this delightful 2 bedroom Victorian’s outstanding potential to be bigger and better with brilliantly designed and executed enhancement. North-facing, semi-detached and with rear lane ROW access, this inviting single-level cottage in a Hawthorn brick row of only two stands ready and waiting in comfortable condition for buyers with vision to see what’s possible, plan for perfection and reap the rewards of an elegant restoration or a cutting-edge renovation. As with so many in the area, the 1950s delivered an interior transformation that still exists today with its traditional floorplan and vintage style amid solid brick surrounds offering enormous inspiration to reimagine with an entirely new, contemporary design and luxurious aesthetic for a stunning 21st-century lifestyle. A white rendered profile on a historic treelined street reveals a charming setting framed by high ceilings and polished hardwood floorboards that extends from a side entrance hallway to 2 oversized bedrooms. Central is a bright living room overlooking an east-side light court, while further is a classic kitchen and meals area, and a modernised bathroom with a toilet. The rear courtyard garden is an overly generous space to creatively configure with a sensational backyard blitz when ready, and further is an external laundry, storage, a second toilet and secure laneway access. Tucked quietly away in a leafy Fitzroy and Carlton North-border pocket, this enticing terrace offers extraordinary scope for creative, sophisticated and rewarding improvement within easy walking distance to the cultural and culinary attractions of vibrant Brunswick Street, North Fitzroy and Rathdowne Villages, the Edinburgh Gardens, Curtain Square, Fitzroy Pool, trams to the city and schools.
