A striking expression of 19th-century Victorian architecture, this beautifully considered townhouse pairs polychrome brickwork and distinctive arched entry details with a refined contemporary interior. Behind its elegant façade, generous proportions, abundant natural light and a private north-facing courtyard create a home that feels equally connected to Fitzroy's vibrant surrounds and quietly removed from them. Positioned between Smith and Brunswick Streets and only a block from Gertrude Street, the home places the neighbourhood's celebrated cafés, restaurants, bars, galleries and boutiques mere minutes away, with excellent transport connections providing effortless access to the CBD.
At the heart of the home, open-plan living, dining and kitchen spaces extend through expansive sliding glass doors to an inviting brick-paved courtyard, where a gas-strut servery window creates an effortless connection for alfresco entertaining. The architecturally designed Cantilever kitchen combines streamlined white cabinetry, quality stainless-steel appliances and a herringbone-tiled splashback, while a powder room, Euro laundry and additional storage complete the ground floor. Under house access with storage space.
Upstairs, three generous bedrooms, each appointed with a ceiling fan, include a spacious primary suite with extensive built-in robes and a beautifully finished ensuite featuring full-height tiling, terrazzo flooring with under tile electric heating, a large walk-in shower and a floating, stone-topped timber vanity. The remaining bedrooms share a spacious, private north-facing balcony overlooking the courtyard and are serviced by a stylish central bathroom, complete with feature tiling with under tile electric heating, a floating vanity, mirrored storage, a shower-over-bath and a skylight.
Ducted heating, a 10-star energy rating, solar panels, double-glazed windows, double brick, insulated ceiling, hardwood timber floors, remote controlled electric opening skylight over the stairwell, excellent storage and off-street parking with ROW access via Sandeman Place further enhance this exceptional city-fringe offering.
