Sought-after flexibility meets sustainability in this impressive Edwardian complete with a self-contained rear studio and solar-electricity system in the quiet heart of Fitzroy. Beyond a picturesque tuckpointed brick façade and wide frontage, this attractive energy-efficient residence reveals a sequence of versatile spaces where each is layered with character and comfort throughout a clever design complemented by original period detail, modern enhancements and natural light. From fretwork and fireplaces to ceiling roses and wooden floorboards, the spacious interior is brimming with charm starting with 2 great-sized bedrooms with built-in robes and a mezzanine loft space. A central bathroom with a deep bathtub, twin-head shower, heated towel rail and a laundry area con-veniently precedes a superb kitchen blending old and new with its original fireplace and quality appliances such as an induction cooktop, oven and dishwasher, plus a movable stone-topped island bench. A sun-filled living and dining area at the rear opens to a leafy brick-paved courtyard framed by elevated garden beds that's ideal for alfresco entertaining, while easily connecting to a separate studio that's ideal for an array of purposes and work-from-home separation with its own bathroom and independent rear access. Other exceptional attributes include split-system heating and cooling units, plantation shutters and solar panels with SolaX Triple Power batteries. Nestled in a coveted plane tree-lined street with rear lane access, this sustainable semi-detached sanctuary with a studio presents a sensational opportunity just a short stroll to surrounding cafes and galleries, Smith and Brunswick Streets, trams, schools, the Fitzroy Pool and the Edinburgh Gardens.
