Overview

Architectural excellence in a Fitzroy landmark

Set within a landmark Victorian-era building opened by Robert Bell in 1855, this beautifully renovated terrace forms part of the former Fitzroy National School and offers a rare inner-city home with real architectural depth. Reimagined by MvS Architects, the transformation is considered, balancing heritage scale with a smart, contemporary layout. Behind the regency-style facade, a dramatic central corridor sets the tone with soaring ceilings and original columns, drawing you through to a calm, green courtyard at the rear. The main bedroom is quietly tucked away on the ground floor and defined by a sculptural ceiling that wraps around a central pendant, with built-in robes and an ensuite finished with a custom tub and handmade Japanese finger tiles. A second bedroom is also on this level, with walk-through robes and its own mosaic-tiled ensuite, alongside a powder room and Euro laundry. Upstairs, the living spaces make the most of their northern light, with an open, well-zoned living and dining area centred around a streamlined galley kitchen with custom cabinetry, integrated appliances and stone benchtops. A working fireplace, built-in joinery and a generous balcony overlooking the rear garden add warmth and practicality, while secure garaging for two via ROW is a genuine inner-city luxury. With Brunswick Street and the Carlton Gardens close by, this is a home where heritage, design and day-to-day liveability come together in a way that feels both distinctive and easy to live with.
