A rare piece of Fitzroy's architectural history, this distinguished cottage, circa 1860, has undergone a remarkable transformation, honouring its heritage origins while introducing a new calibre of contemporary luxury. The enduring character of its historic bluestone architecture provides a compelling counterpoint to the refined modern renovation, creating a residence where nearly two centuries of history meet the expectations of sophisticated inner-city living. Beyond its architectural distinction, Fitzroy's celebrated cafes, destination restaurants, bars, boutique stores, and public transport are all within a short stroll.
- A warm and welcoming living room makes an immediate impression, centred around an original, open cast-iron fireplace with a detailed mantel that brings a distinctive sense of period character.
- The contemporary kitchen and dining area is crowned by a skylight, drawing natural light across the space. Stone benchtops, modern appliances including a dishwasher, under-cabinet LED lighting and generous cabinetry provide a refined yet highly functional setting for everyday living.
- A private, brick-paved rear courtyard creates an inviting outdoor retreat, offering a quiet setting for relaxed entertaining or unwinding away from the energy of the surrounding neighbourhood.
- Three well-proportioned bedrooms provide versatile accommodation, with flexibility for a dedicated home office, or guest room as required.
- The luxurious central bathroom pairs a separate shower with a beautiful claw-foot bathtub, complemented by chic black tapware and fittings for a distinctive, contemporary finish.
- Further highlights include high ceilings, a dedicated laundry area, split-system heating and cooling, and exposed bluestone and original period details throughout, reinforcing the home's rich architectural character.
- Ideally connected by Brunswick Street and Nicholson Street tram services, providing convenient access to the CBD and surrounding inner-north precincts.
- The celebrated Gertrude, Brunswick and Smith Street precincts are all within easy walking distance, offering an exceptional choice of cafes, restaurants, bars, boutiques and independent retailers.
- Local lifestyle attractions are equally accessible, with Fitzroy Swimming Pool, Carlton Gardens, local markets, the Melbourne Museum and Royal Exhibition Building all within easy reach.
