Overview

A landmark residence of rare scale and character

Formerly the manager's residence of the landmark National Bank of Australasia, this remarkable 1890s home brings together grand Boom-era architecture, meticulous restoration and a superb Fitzroy North Village position. Behind its distinguished façade, soaring ceilings, European oak parquetry, marble fireplaces, panelled doors and elaborate plasterwork establish an immediate sense of scale and history. An imposing cedar staircase rises from the entrance lobby, while tall arched windows draw beautiful natural light throughout. The accommodation comprises four generous bedrooms, including an impressive main bedroom and retreat with luxurious ensuite, alongside three further bedrooms with custom built-in robes, one offering excellent flexibility as a home office. A beautifully proportioned sitting room features a gas log fire, with the adjoining dining room connecting seamlessly to a bespoke kitchen appointed with Miele appliances and Carrara marble finishes. A striking family bathroom and laundry fitted storeroom and original cellar - once used by the bank as its document repository during World War II - add further character and practicality. A wide return balcony captures views towards the city skyline, while additional features include ducted heating and refrigerated cooling, video security, access to substantial on-title roof space, two secure basement car spaces and additional storage. Positioned in the heart of North Fitzroy Village with cafés, restaurants and a tram at the doorstep, the home is also within easy reach of Edinburgh Gardens, leading schools and the best of Fitzroy North.
