7A Skene Place

Fitzroy North VIC 3068

A place of sanctuary where industrial origins, modern design and northerly light brilliantly converge in a secluded and secure corner setting, this remarkable 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom residence with mixed-use zoning is a warehouse conversion of rare space and sophistication thats quietly tucked away by the Edinburgh Gardens. Set beyond a red-brick factory faade, a perfectly flexible interior that extends over 2 levels is introduced by the high ceilings and exposed steelwork of a ground-floor layout where a versatile living area leads to a large lounge room with a library/reading area, along with open-planned dining and music areas all served by a granite gourmet kitchen featuring high-end Neff appliances (induction cooktop, oven), ASKO dishwasher and plenty of soft-close storage. Bifold doors and expansive glazing focus on a north-facing landscaped courtyard where alfresco entertaining and relaxing in the sunshine are an endless pleasure with a lush garden backdrop, thats also enjoyed by a huge, adjoining 2-room bedroom retreat including extensive built-in robes. Further is a powder room, a modern bathroom, laundry and multi-purpose storeroom, while located upstairs are 2 additional bedrooms (extra-large first with a bright north balcony and WIR, second with an outlook towards the city) plus a spacious study area with a desk, a bathroom and more outstanding storage. Kept incredibly comfortable throughout with hydronic heating and split-system air-conditioning, this extraordinary home with timber and concrete flooring, track lighting and sky-lights offers an exceptional opportunity to live, work and play in absolute privacy on a generous, 201 sqm approx. low-maintenance oasis. Positioned peacefully within an established leafy streetscape, come and experience the compelling architectural character, space and flexibility of this light-filled, lock and leave property, and love the amazing inner-city lifestyle with everything from North Fitzroy, Nicholson Street and Rathdowne Villages, as well as vibrant Brunswick Street, schools, trams and parkland all easily accessed within a short walk.
