Where the Capital City, Inner-Circle Rail and Merri Creek trails converge in a beautiful expanse of parkland stands this impressive Victorian balcony terrace that located on the corner of Apperley Street, offers a flexible light-filled interior with wonderful views, excellent access including secure parking and exceptional work-from-home versatility. A private courtyard and park outlook enhances the ornate elegance of a large ground-floor bedroom with a magnificent rose-adorned ceiling, decorative fireplace and an arched bay window, while additional accommodation is located upstairs featuring a north-facing bedroom opening to the balcony, a sizable third bedroom (mirrored BIRs, view to the city) and a versatile lounge or office with excellent storage. There's also a stylish first-floor bathroom with an oversized shower, while situated on the ground-level for absolute convenience is a second bathroom, an open sitting room with under-stair storage and a huge open-plan family zone. Beneath a high ceiling at the rear, spacious living and dining areas offer supreme free-flowing comfort accompanied by a well-equipped kitchen featuring a customised stainless-steel workbench with integrated gas cooktop, twin sinks with filtered water tap, under-bench oven, dishwasher and a breakfast island bench. Sliding timber doors extend the space seamlessly out to a fully-paved courtyard framed by leafy garden beds, creating a private and practical outdoor setting for entertaining guests backed by a remote-control roller door to a carport. Other attributes include ducted heating and cooling (upper-level), off-peak in-slab heating (ground-floor), a European laundry, security alarm, hybrid flooring and sky-lights. Directly opposite parkland and footsteps to walking trails, this prized corner-position residence delivers a rare combination of period character, modern quality and flexible accommodation including work-from-home options in one of the inner north's most coveted pockets near North Fitzroy Village cafes, shops and bakeries, Piedimonte's supermarket, trams, Rushall train station, the Edinburgh Gardens and schools.
