Intimate Interiors & Architectural Character - Unmistakably Fitzroy
Beyond its Hawthorn brick facade and vibrant yellow front door, a sequence of carefully considered spaces unfolds beneath pitched ceilings and skylights, with custom timber joinery and views across two courtyard gardens creating a remarkably calm sense of continuity. Renovated and further refined by its architect owner, with the design sensibility of Studio Edwards informing its evolution, the residence is an accomplished example of how intelligent design can elevate a character home while preserving its individuality. Complementing the considered architecture, the home's quiet Fitzroy setting places an exceptional array of celebrated culinary, cultural and retail offerings within easy reach.
- Rich timber floorboards extend through the living and dining areas, where abundant natural light and outlooks to the courtyard gardens create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
- The beautifully appointed kitchen forms the heart of the living environment, featuring bespoke built-in seating, streamlined cabinetry, quality appliances, timber benchtops and generous storage, while timber framed glazing draws the garden into the everyday experience.
- Upstairs, one of two bedrooms provides an especially appealing retreat beneath a pitched ceiling, illuminated by skylights and appointed with custom built-in storage. The second bedroom on the ground level features a contemporary ensuite with full-height tiling and direct access to one of the courtyards.
- The refined main bathroom is distinguished by a stone bathtub and fireplace, creating a luxurious setting for relaxation.
- Two private courtyards are a genuine highlight, offering leafy seclusion and a rare sense of tranquillity within such a connected setting, complemented by a decked area for outdoor enjoyment.
- Additional features include a European laundry and integrated storage throughout.
- Quietly located on leafy Napier Street, the home is moments from Fitzroy Library, Fitzroy Swimming Pool, Carlton Gardens, extensive cycling paths and convenient tram services providing direct CBD access.
