From 1860s cottage to contemporary architectural icon, the stunning transformation of this extraordinary Fitzroy residence is beyond compare with light cascading throughout a 2-level interior backdropped by the divine bluestone beauty of historic St Mark's church. Renowned Whiting Architects let their imagination soar in achieving the impossible crafting a discreet yet dynamic, second-level sanctuary of form, functionality and streams of shifting dappled light that seems to softly float above the superbly renovated spaces of the original ground-floor domain. A bold modern reflection of its heritage surroundings, authentic period charm is immediately evident with a timber ceiling, traditional brickwork and a whitewashed glow framing a fireside living and dining room that flows flawlessly through to a premium gourmet kitchen featuring European appliances, a study area and a glimpse of the overarching aesthetics above. Hidden beside a concealed laundry and a beautiful designer bathroom is a stairway to heaven where perforated panels coax natural light like that through trees to a higher level of blissful sophistication showcasing skylights, church vistas and dramatic interior space. Presented with the soft muted tones of nostalgia, simplicity and serenity, a central second bathroom serves 2 remarkable bedrooms where an expansive main with custom-fitted robes is matched by a sublime second bedroom with an infinitely evocative outlook. An absolute one of a kind with split-system heating/cooling and bespoke lighting, this lifestyle inspiration is a captivating combination of old and new made for now in a stunning position between Smith and Brunswick Streets offering quick and easy access to myriad cafes and restaurants, wine bars, boutique and bohemian shopping, supermarkets, trams to the city and delightful local parks.
