Positioned in a highly convenient CBD walking location, 165 Fitzroy Street - affectionately named "Girraween," an Aboriginal term meaning "place of flowers" - is a truly unique home offering an exceptional combination of character, space, versatility and lifestyle appeal. Built in 1905, this grand residence is proudly celebrating 121 years this year. Set on a substantial 1,046m2 (approx.) block, this charming property is filled with the warmth and detail of a bygone era, while offering the space and functionality today's families are looking for. With the owners committed to downsizing, this is a rare opportunity to secure a much-loved and incredibly spacious home in one of Grafton's sought-after central locations.
Upstairs, four generously proportioned bedrooms provide plenty of room for the family, with each bedroom featuring built-in robes. A modern bathroom services the upper level, while the adjoining sunroom provides a lovely additional space to relax and enjoy the natural light. Throughout the home, high ceilings and decorative cornices showcase the beautiful character typical of the era, complemented by multiple living spaces that provide plenty of options for families to spread out, relax or entertain.
At the heart of the home is a stunning timber kitchen featuring an impressive walk-in pantry and excellent connection to the open-plan dining and living area. A second bathroom downstairs includes a bathtub, while the internal laundry adds everyday convenience. With three reverse-cycle air conditioners positioned throughout the home, comfort is well catered for across the seasons. Please refer to the floorplan provided for an understanding of the layout.
Step outside and the property's exceptional entertaining potential becomes even more apparent. Multiple verandahs - two at the front and two at the rear - create a wonderful selection of outdoor spaces to sit, relax and entertain. The expansive backyard provides an abundance of room for children, pets, gardening or simply enjoying the generous surrounds, while the saltwater in-ground swimming pool is sure to become a favourite gathering place during the warmer months.
Adding an exciting layer of versatility is the substantial shed positioned at the rear of the property. Featuring a roller door on one side and two sliding doors on the other, this impressive space could easily be transformed into a home gym, rumpus room, hobby area, entertaining zone, workshop or additional recreational space. An awning extends from the side of the shed, while another undercover area sits behind it, providing even more options. A water tank adds further practicality, while a double garage positioned down the side of the home provides secure vehicle accommodation.
The property also features an approved granny flat adjoining the side of the home, complete with its own bathroom, laundry and open-plan living space with a kitchen. Whether utilised for extended family, guests, a home office, creative pursuits or additional accommodation, this flexible space offers a wealth of possibilities.
With its generous proportions, multiple living and entertaining areas, sparkling saltwater pool, extensive yard, substantial shedding, separate granny flat and enviable CBD walking location, 165 Fitzroy Street is a property that truly needs to be experienced to appreciate its full potential. Full of charm, character and opportunity, homes offering this combination of land, flexibility and central convenience are rarely presented to the market.
